Later, the governor of the region, Andrey Bocharov, said that the forces of the Russian Defense Ministry were “repelling a massive drone attack,” and that falling debris had caused a fire in the industrial zone of the Krasnoarmiysky district, where the Lukoil-Volgogradnefteperebka refinery is located. According to him, the fire has been contained, and emergency services are working on the scene.

At around 02:30, explosions and a fire were also recorded in Simferopol. According to the public service “Crimean Wind”, the fire occurred at the “Krymnaftozbut” oil depot near the village of Bitumne, before which eyewitnesses heard drones flying overhead.

Social media users reported that explosions could be heard even on the southern coast of Crimea, and smoke rose in the Gvardiyskyi area after several “arrivals”.

Official Russian structures have not yet commented on the nature of the damage and the causes of the explosions.
