Ukrainian strikes hit Russian assets in Crimea, intel confirms
The British Ministry of Defense reported on Thursday about the effectiveness of Ukrainian military actions on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula. Intelligence has determined that Ukrainians successfully strike enemy forces and weaken Russian military capabilities.
In the latest British intelligence report, it was noted that the Ukrainian General Staff reported a successful attack on a Russian oil terminal in Feodosia, Crimea, which occurred on October 7.
Reports of Ukrainian operations in Crimea are supported by satellite images showing a massive fire that destroyed the Russian facility in Feodosia.
According to British sources, there were attacks on the same fuel infrastructure in March. At that time, Ukrainian forces attempted to destroy the oil terminal using drones.
The British Ministry of Defense indicated that this year's Ukrainian attacks in Crimea also targeted other systems. Air defense bases, air bases, and command centers were attacked.
The Ukrainians also launched attacks on Russian naval facilities and logistics centers. There were multiple attempts to damage the crossing over the Kerch Strait.
In the fall of last year, British intelligence also reported a Ukrainian attack on a shipyard in Kerch, located in occupied Crimea. A Russian corvette was damaged as a result.
Cruise missiles were used in the attack on the shipyard. The damaged vessel was one of the most modern ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, capable of carrying Kalibr cruise missiles.
