Explosions in Crimean Feodosia may repeat, Ukrainian military says

Natalia Humeniuk, head of the joint coordination center of Ukraine’s South Defense Forces, shared the information on Radio Liberty.

She noted that the explosions that occurred at night in Feodosia resemble those that recently took place near Sevastopol.

"It is clear that they will defend this direction. And it is clear that the enemy's logistics are concentrated to some extent in these places. And the supply of fuel and lubricants is a very important component of combat readiness. That's why more explosions will come. It is inevitable," said Humeniuk.

In Feodosia, Russian occupying forces have reportedly built a large oil depot where they can keep huge reserves for their Black Sea Fleet.

At the same time, the head does not rule out that the explosions near Novorossiysk in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai could be a provocation.

Earlier, on the night of August 3-4, explosions occurred in the temporarily occupied Feodosia, Crimea. Russia's Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of a drone attack.

Attacks in Crimea

On July 17, in the morning, there were explosions on the Crimean Bridge. The occupation authorities said it was an "emergency event" caused by the Ukrainian military. They found damage to the road and reported two deaths.

On July 18, the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine again of attacking Crimea with drones.

On the night of July 19, people in Russian-occupied Crimea heard explosions. A warehouse with ammunition exploded at the Old Crimea training ground.

On July 20, the occupiers blamed Ukraine for a drone attack on Crimea. They said four buildings were damaged, and a teenager was killed.

On July 22, drones attacked infrastructure facilities on the peninsula. An oil depot in Oktyabrske village caught fire, and an ammunition depot at the airfield exploded. Railway traffic was stopped.

On July 24, the occupying authorities of Crimea reported a drone attack on an ammunition warehouse in the Dzhankoy district, and nearby villages were evacuated.

On Friday, July 28, an ammunition depot of the occupiers exploded in occupied Sevastopol. The GUR reported the sabotage.

Ukrainian forces are also targeting Russian logistics routes to disrupt their plans and supplies between Crimea and the mainland. On the morning of July 29, the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out an air attack on the Chongar Bridge.

On August 1, there were explosions in Crimea, possibly in the Balaklava area, where the Russian Navy base, a thermal power plant, and warehouses of ammunition and equipment are located.

The Ukrainian Navy's spokesman, Dmytro Pletenchuk, said that the Naval Forces of Ukraine were not involved in the attack on the Sergey Kotov and Vasily Bykov ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. 

On August 3, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov confirmed the involvement of the Security Service of Ukraine in two operations to blow up the Kerch Bridge in Crimea.
