The Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes on the occupied Crimea are gradually worsening Russia's military capabilities. Among the affected facilities are airfields, command centers and oil depots.

According to Censor.NET, citing European Pravda, this is stated in a British intelligence report.

As the intelligence service reminded, the General Staff of Ukraine confirmed that on October 7, Ukraine had struck an offshore oil terminal in Feodosia in occupied Crimea. Earlier, in March 2024, this terminal was also attacked by Ukrainian drones.

"Ukrainian attacks continue to gradually degrade Russian military capabilities on the Crimean peninsula. The targets in 2024 also included air defense systems, airfields, command centers, naval facilities, logistics facilities, and the Kerch Strait crossing," the statement said.

Later, local residents reported that the drones had hit the "Sea oil terminal" JSC. This oil depot is the largest in Crimea in terms of oil products transshipment. The tank capacity is 250 thousand cubic meters.

Since the fall of 2022, the oil depot has been equipped with the Pantsir-S1 air defense system, but it did not help repel the attack.
