Strike on the oil depot

Following an analysis of two video recordings published by the monitoring channel Exilenova+, analysts have established that the oil depot at the Kerch Sea Trade Port, located on Tamanskaya Street in the temporarily occupied city of Kerch, is on fire. The videos were filmed from Petrovskaya and Sverdlova Streets.

The oil depot is situated less than a kilometre from the point where the Kerch Bridge meets the coast. It is used for the storage and transhipment of petroleum products, in particular fuel oil and diesel, across the Kerch Strait. The fuel terminal supplies vessels with fuel and serves the ‘Crimea–Caucasus’ ferry service.
