In Feodosia, tourists are leaving the city en masse due to a fire at an oil depot

At the temporarily occupied Feodosia oil depot, the fire caused by the October 6 strike is growing and engulfing new fuel tanks. As a result, thick smoke and burning fumes enveloped the city and surrounding settlements.

This was reported by Radio Liberty.

A local activist on condition of anonymity told the resource that the situation is critical:

"Vacationers and tourists have left the city en masse, only those who have vouchers in sanatoriums remain. The residents of Feodosia are trying to send their children to relatives and friends to get as far away from this fire that has descended on the city as possible.

At the same time, the local occupation authorities are completely silent about the problem and do not take measures to work with the population on the environmental threat. It is known that the burning cloud descended on Old Crimea, Nanikovo and Koktebel. The attack on the oil depot was probably carried out by a missile, not an unmanned aerial vehicle. The oil depot was carefully protected from drones by a whole range of defenses, including nets.

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

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, who 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 victims is currently being clarified.
