Reported Ukraine drone strike ignites major fuel blaze on Crimea
A massive fire was ignited in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol following a suspected drone attack on a fuel storage tank. The blaze was assigned the highest ranking in terms of how complicated it will be to extinguish, Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-installed governor, wrote on Telegram on Saturday. The fire was still burning but it had been contained and no one was injured. The oil reservoir fire did not cause any casualties and would not hinder fuel supplies in Sevastopol, he said. "The four fuel tanks that were hit, they are practically burnt out already," said Razvozhayev, adding an area of 1,000 square metres (11,000 square feet) had been engulfed in flames.
