Early on Wednesday morning, a drone attack targeted an oil terminal in Crimea, causing a massive fire at the facility. The attack is believed to have been carried out by Ukrainian forces, though the Ukrainian government has denied any involvement. This is the latest in a series of attacks on Crimea in the past few weeks, as tensions between the two countries have been on the rise since Russia annexed the region in 2014.
The attack was carried out by at least four drones, each of which were armed with explosives. The drones flew over the oil terminal and dropped their payload, setting off a huge fire. Reports indicate that as many as two dozen people were injured in the attack, although no deaths have been reported. The terminal itself suffered significant damage, with the fire burning for hours before it was eventually put out.
The incident has sparked outrage from both sides, with the Russian government accusing Ukraine of the attack and promising a swift response. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government has denied any involvement in the attack and has instead accused the Russian government of trying to provoke a conflict.
The attack on the oil terminal is yet another example of the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of the ongoing conflict. It is unclear what the next steps will be, but all sides are likely to be closely monitoring the situation to ensure that further escalation is avoided.
