In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, a drone attack targeted a major oil facility in Crimea's Feodosia, triggering a massive fire that engulfed the depot on October 7. Ukraine's military confirmed the strike on October 6, describing the facility as a critical transhipment hub for Russian energy operations. Officials in Kyiv reported that the missile forces specifically targeted the largest oil processing terminal on the peninsula, which is vital to Russian supply lines.

Meanwhile, the Russian defence ministry claimed that 12 of the 21 Ukrainian attack drones deployed in the assault were intercepted over the peninsula.
