Large-scale fire at Kerch train station following drone attack

According to Ukrinform, the Crimean Wind Telegram channel reported this.

“Fire at the Kerch railway station. Warehouses, trains, and, likely, an oil depot and a power substation are on fire,” the message states.

According to the Telegram channel, eyewitnesses began reporting a powerful explosion and fire near the railway station around 1 a.m.

It is noted that three more fire outbreaks have been detected in the Kerch area, two of them between Baherove and Zhovtneve, where two railway lines, highways, an overpass, bridges, and a power line run. One of these fires broke out near the former Bagherove military airfield, which is currently being used again by the Russian military. Another fire, a wildfire, likely occurred after a gas leak near the Baherove Gas Processing Complex, operated by the SE Chornomornaftogaz.

Another fire was reported west of the village of Koktebel, near Shchebetivka, in the area of the 110/35/6 kV Koktebel Substation and a pumping station.

Additionally, according to a Telegram channel, tankers belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet were attacked in the Black Sea.

As reported by Ukrinform, since the start of the day on July 17, the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already struck 12 vessels of the Russian shadow fleet in the Black Sea.
