Ukraine

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) conducted overnight strikes on June 7, 2026, targeting a fuel storage facility and a maritime oil terminal in occupied Crimea to disrupt Russian military logistics.

Key points

  • The Semykolodezyanska oil depot, located 200 kilometers from the front line, was hit, damaging nine fuel reservoirs.
  • A maritime oil terminal in Feodosia, situated 250 kilometers from the front, was also struck, impacting seven large fuel storage tanks.
  • The targeted facilities were used by Russian forces to store and transport fuel, including diesel and bitumen, for military operations.

Why it matters

The destruction of these fuel facilities significantly degrades the logistical and economic capacity of Russian forces to sustain military operations in the region.
