On the night of June 7, a unit of the Middle-strike Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck two fuel infrastructure facilities in occupied Crimea: the Semykolodezhnaya oil depot in the village of Yedy-Kuyu and the marine oil terminal in Feodosia. This was reported by the SSO.
Oil depot near Lenin: a pumping hub for the railway
The facility in the village of Yedy-Kuyu — which the occupation administration renamed Lenin — is located approximately 200 km from the line of contact. According to the SSO, nine storage tanks with capacities ranging from 700 to 3,000 cubic meters are concentrated here. It is from here that railway tank cars are loaded for the further supply of fuel oil, diesel, and bitumen to the occupied territories.
In other words, this is not just a warehouse: the oil depot functions as a transshipment hub between maritime supplies and railway logistics into the depths of the occupied regions.
Feodosia terminal: industrial-scale reservoirs
The second facility is a marine oil terminal in Feodosia, 250 km from the front. As noted by the SSO, its territory contains seven tanks with capacities of 10,000 and 20,000 cubic meters — an order of magnitude larger than at Semykolodezhnaya. The terminal handles the transshipment of petroleum products from railway tank cars to maritime vessels and serves as a backup fuel depot for Crimea in case of emergencies on the peninsula.

Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Feodosia terminal has been struck before: as Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported, the previous attack occurred on October 6–7, 2024 — when a fire engulfed several tanks and smoke covered the city.
What this means tactically
Both facilities are not combat positions — they are supply infrastructure. Strikes against them do not stop attacks immediately, but complicate logistics for weeks: the restoration of large tanks requires time and equipment that Russia cannot quickly replace under sanctions. The SSO did not specify the extent of damage and the volume of fuel destroyed — standard practice for operations of this type.
- Semykolodezhnaya — 9 tanks, 700–3,000 m³, railway supply hub
- Feodosia terminal — 7 tanks, 10,000–20,000 m³, sea-to-rail transshipment, backup depot for Crimea
- Both facilities are 200–250 km from the front, outside the artillery zone — accessible only by UAVs or missiles
If satellite imagery or independent sources confirm fires in high-capacity tanks in Feodosia, this strike would be one of the largest against Crimea's fuel infrastructure since October 2024 — but for now it remains a matter of verification.
