A massive fire broke out at the Hvardiyske airfield fuel depot in temporarily occupied Crimea overnight, according to Crimean Wind on August 7. Explosions were heard between 3:30 a.m. and 4:47 a.m., causing at least two separate fire sites at the airfield. Russian forces reportedly use this airfield to launch Shahed strike drones.
Witnesses also reported an explosion in Feodosia, and preliminary information suggests the strike may have hit a concentration of military equipment near the former 13th military encampment on Kerch Highway. The area has been a target of previous drone attacks, including an incident on June 22 that targeted facilities such as the Tavriiska Thermal Power Plant, an FSB border guard building in Armyansk, and a fuel depot area in Feodosia.
