On October 5, tanks were burning in the northwestern and eastern parts of the facility, today the fire has already engulfed the tanks in the northern part of the oil depot. The extent of the fire is confirmed by satellite images. In the photos of October 6, published by Radio Liberty, the smoke from the terminal on fire stretches for 12 kilometers.

During the full-scale war, the Ukrainian defense forces repeatedly attacked this facility. In total, 12 out of 34 tanks at the oil depot were damaged.

On the night of October 3, an attack on the railway infrastructure took place in the occupied Crimea. According to the resource, a traction substation at the Buzok station (also known as Siren) in the Bakhchisaray district was hit.

According to the resource's sources, at about 20:40, local residents heard a powerful explosion. As a result of the strike, a fire broke out at the substation, which was visible in different parts of Bakhchisaray. In the morning, the area around the facility was tightly cordoned off by the Russian military, which did not allow civilians to enter.

The Buzok substation provides a voltage of 35 kilovolts and is important for the functioning of the railroad in the region. It supplies electricity for train traffic. Information on the extent of the damage and possible casualties is currently being clarified.

The military infrastructure of the occupiers in Crimea continues to be attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the situation is complicated by another serious problem - the lack of fuel. According to Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk, the shortage is already being felt on the peninsula and will soon affect the Russian army.
