Ukraine hits oil depot in Kavkaz port in Russian Krasnodar region with Neptune missiles

Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff reports.

A strike group of the Ukrainian Navy struck a ferry crossing and an oil terminal in the port of Kavkaz the next night after the Ukrainian Defense Forces had taken out the ferries of the Kerch ferry crossing in occupied Ukrainian Crimea, which were running to the port of Kavkaz and were used for Russian military logistics.

It is noted that the oil depot near the port of Kavkaz was hit by several Ukrainian-made missiles from the Neptune coastal missile system. 

“The results of objective control confirm the explosions at the targeting sites. The accuracy of target destruction is being investigated,” the General Staff noted.

Ukrainian Defense Forces' UAVs also hit another oil terminal in the Krasnodar Krai.

“Modern” and “effective” Russian air defense again proved to be powerless against our missiles and unmanned systems and failed to protect important facilities used for logistics and supply of the Russian army,” the Armed Forces summarized.

Earlier, representatives of the pro-Ukrainian movement Crimean Wind reported a fire and explosions in the Kavkaz port.

Information about the first explosions heard in the temporarily occupied Kerch began to arrive after 2:00 a.m. According to pro-Ukrainian activists, the port of Kavkaz is on fire.

The facility is located near the Crimean Bridge, on the other side of the river from Crimea, in the Temryuk district of Krasnodar Krai.

The governor of Krasnodar Region, Veniamin Kondratiev, complained about the drone attack.

“The air strike damaged the infrastructure of the oil depot. Three tanks with oil products were damaged and are burning. The fire is currently being extinguished. The fire has been assigned a high category of complexity,” Kondratiev wrote.

According to Kondratiev, there are victims.

“Fuel for the Russian occupiers in Crimea and the occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions comes from there,” Crimean Wind writes about the oil depot located in the port of Kavkaz.

• On the night of May 30, a series of explosions occurred in the city of Kerch in Crimea. Russia reported damaged ferries, and later, Ukrainian intelligence reported the destruction of four Russian boats.
