Kyiv Independent:
“Ukraine attacked a train ferry carrying fuel tanks at the Kavkaz port in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai on Aug. 22, the Krasnodar Krai authorities claimed.
The Kavkaz port, located on the Chushka Spit in the Kerch Strait, is one of Russia’s largest passenger ports. Its main task is to serve the Kerch ferry crossing in Russian-occupied Crimea.
The Crimean Wind Telegram channel published photos and videos showing smoke rising over the Taman Peninsula in Krasnodar Krai, which can be seen near the Kerch Bridge in Crimea…
Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said in early August that Ukraine is working on a “complex solution” that could destroy the illegally constructed Kerch Bridge in the coming months.
Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine published on June 17 that destroying the Kerch Bridge now would not have the same effect now because Russia barely uses it for military purposes anymore.
The bridge accounts for less than a quarter of the total transiting cargo, and for the rest, Russia uses a ferry crossing in Kerch, Pletenchuk said.”
Kyiv Independent reports today (22 Aug):
“Ukraine’s General Staff later confirmed a strike on the Kavkaz plant, which stored oil and petroleum products for the Russian army.
The fire reportedly began after Russian air defense units repelled a drone, but debris hit an industrial warehouse at the oil depot, igniting a diesel fuel fire.“
Once again, falling debris just happened to destroy the target. Fuel could become a problem for Russia.
“Rostov Oblast oil depot fire ongoing for 5th day, Russian officials report”
That really was (was) a major storage facility - one of the largest in Russia. It takes a lot of fuel to burn for five days, with 600 guys working to put out the fire.
