SBU Drones Strike Russian Military and Fuel Targets Overnight, Causing Massive Fires
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) launched a large-scale drone attack on July 13, hitting multiple targets in Russia and occupied Crimea, including patrol boats, ferries, radar stations, and oil depots.
On the night of July 13, drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) attacked several military, logistics, and fuel facilities on Russian territory and in temporarily occupied Crimea, sparking widespread fires.
According to the SBU, the drones struck:
- two Project 12150 "Mangust" patrol boats in the Black Sea;
- hangars with military equipment and special gear at the Bagerove airbase in occupied Crimea;
- three stationary radar stations used by Russia to detect unmanned boats and attack drones;
- the car ferries "Yeysk" and "Maria" at the "Krym" ferry terminal in Kerch;
- the car ferries "Laurentiy" and "Panagia" at the port of Kavkaz;
- three reservoirs of the oil product transshipment complex at the port of Kavkaz;
- a railway train with tanks at the Kavkaz freight station;
- a tank farm at an oil depot in Vyazniki, Stavropol Krai, Russia.
The SBU emphasized that hitting dozens of targets in various remote locations simultaneously in one night demonstrates the increasing scale of its long-range special operations. "Critically important elements of Russia's military and oil infrastructure will continue to burn," the SBU stated.
