Impact on energy and fuel facilities
Satellite data indicates two distinct fire locations at the Tavriyska Thermal Power Plant, situated near Strohonivka in the Simferopol district. The facility, which has a capacity of 470 megawatts, was put into operation in 2019.
Fires were also recorded at oil and gas storage facilities located northwest of Bakhchysarai. These storage sites belong to “TES,” which operates one of the largest networks of gas stations on the peninsula. Furthermore, fires broke out at two gas distribution stations near the villages of Zhuravlivka and Lokhivka, following reported explosions in those areas.
Logistical and industrial targets
The strikes also affected transport and industrial infrastructure. Satellites detected a fire in the vicinity of the Henichesk bridge on the Arabat Spit. Reports indicate this is an area where occupation authorities had previously constructed a pontoon crossing following earlier strikes on permanent bridges.
