Drones attacked Sevastopol, Feodosia and Dzhankoi: explosions heard near oil depot

On June 6, Crimea was hit by a wave of drone attacks with explosions and air defense activity recorded in Sevastopol, Feodosia and Dzhankoi. Russian authorities acknowledged a partial interception, but independent sources report strikes on key infrastructure.

On the evening of June 6, explosions thundered over several cities in Crimea as a wave of unmanned drone attacks swept across the peninsula over several hours. Strikes were recorded in Sevastopol, Feodosia and Dzhankoi. Local residents reported powerful explosions and air defense systems operating in different parts of the peninsula.

Alarms were raised earliest over Cape Fiolent in southwestern Sevastopol, where drones were spotted in the first half of the day. In the evening, the intensity of the attack sharply increased: according to partisan agents on the ground, "powerful explosions" were heard over the city. Sevastopol's governor Mikhail Razvozhaev said that air defense forces and mobile fire groups repelled an attack by sixteen unmanned aircraft, with two residents wounded.

Simultaneously, explosions thundered in Feodosia. Local agents reported several waves of activity: first attempts to shoot down drones over the city, then explosions in the oil depot area. A strike on an oil infrastructure facility, if confirmed, would be one of the most significant episodes of the night. In Dzhankoi, a transport hub in the center of the peninsula, active air defense operations were also recorded.

Russian authorities presented events as a successfully repelled attack. Independent eyewitness accounts from the ground paint a different picture: the interception was only partial, and explosions in the Feodosia oil depot area suggest that at least some of the unmanned aircraft reached their targets. The discrepancy between the official account and reports from the ground is a characteristic feature of such episodes.

The June 6 attack served as further evidence that Crimea remains a zone of active combat operations more than two years after the start of the full-scale invasion. Strikes on the peninsula have increased in recent months, affecting both military infrastructure and energy and fuel supply facilities.
