Ukrainian drones struck an oil terminal in the city of Feodosia in occupied Crimea overnight on Wednesday, April 8, with additional strikes reported across several occupied regions, according to Ukrainian military personnel, partisan groups, and Russian sources.
Footage and eyewitness accounts analyzed by Russian Telegram channel Astra indicated a fire at the “Marine Oil Terminal” facility following the attack.
Strike on Feodosia oil terminal
Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces said Ukrainian forces targeted the oil terminal as part of a coordinated operation.
He said the strike hit fuel storage infrastructure at the site.
Partisan group Atesh said its agents had conducted prior reconnaissance of the facility and passed targeting data to Ukrainian forces.
The group described the terminal as a key fuel supply hub for Russian forces in Crimea.
Astra reported that residents observed explosions and a fire in the area overnight, though local authorities did not confirm the incident.
Brovdi said Ukrainian drones also struck multiple Russian military assets in occupied territories, including Buk-M3 and Tor-M2 air defense systems and a Zoopark-1M counter-battery radar.
He added that Ukrainian forces targeted logistics warehouses and drone facilities in occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Strikes reported in Luhansk
Explosions were also reported in occupied Luhansk, with Russian-installed officials saying three people were injured in drone strikes on residential areas, according to Astra.
Footage circulating online appeared to show drones reaching targets in the city.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said 73 Ukrainian drones were intercepted overnight across several regions, including annexed Crimea and areas over the Azov and Black seas.
The statement could not be independently verified.
