"During the night, a successful attack was carried out against the enemy's oil terminal in temporarily occupied Feodosiya on the Crimean Peninsula", writes the Ukrainian military on social media and claims that more similar attacks will follow.

"The Feodosiya terminal is the largest on the Crimean Peninsula in terms of transshipment of oil products, which have been used, among other things, to supply the needs of the Russian occupation army", the military continues in a statement.

According to Russian authorities on the Crimean Peninsula, there are no reports of injured persons in connection with the incident.

The Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula has been controlled by Russia since 2014. Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian-controlled energy facilities in recent months.

According to Ukrainian authorities, three civilians were killed in Russian attacks in Ukraine during the night, in the regions of Sumy and Kherson. In total, the Russian military has sent tens of rockets towards Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian air force, which reports that two rockets were shot down over the capital Kiev and that a third exploded near an airfield in the region of Chmelnytskyi.
