A suspected drone strike sparked a huge fire at a fuel storage facility in the Russian-occupied Crimean port city of Sevastopol
The Russian-backed governor of the city, Mikhail Razvozhaev, said four fuel tanks were hit but no one was injured. “The fire is tough … there are still many hours of work,” Razvozhaev said in an update on Telegram. Razvozhaev said the fire will not affect fuel supply in Sevastopol, adding that fire departments across Crimea have been assisting and Russia’s Black Sea Fleet would soon join efforts.
An important port and a major naval base for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol has endured multiple suspected Ukrainian attacks. On Monday, Razvozhaev said there was a drone attack on the city, one of which was destroyed, and the other exploded on its own. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to “liberate” all of the country’s territory including the occupied peninsula.
