Ukrainian Drones Target Kerch & Port Kavkaz, Multiple Fuel Depots & Terminals On Fire

Ukraine targeted port facilities, oil depots, terminals and military infrastructure in Russia, which led to fires and severe damage.

In the night leading to June 21, 2026, drones hit ports of Kerch on the occupied Crimean Peninsula and Kavkaz Port in Russia’s Krasnodar region.

After the attack, fire broke out at both facilities, and satellite images show that it continues to burn at the oil terminal of the Kerch Commercial Port.

The terminal is less than a kilometre from the part of the Kerch Bridge which connects the Kerch Strait to the shore.

It is used for storing and transhipment of petroleum products across the strait.

The terminal also serves vessels and operates the ferry route Crimea to Kavkaz that connects Crimea with the Russian mainland.

Another fire was reported at the Port of Kavkaz, which lies on the Russian side of the Kerch Strait.

Kavkaz is one of the biggest passenger ports in Russia and deals with car and rail ferries.

The Russian Ministry of Defence said that it shot down atleast 239 drones launched towards the Astrakhan, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, Rostov regions, the Krasnodar Region and the Republic of Adygea of the Russian Federation, as well as over occupied Crimea and the waters of the Azov and Black Seas.

Earlier, Ukraine had also struck Crimean gas infrastructure and bridges across the Henichesk Strait and other facilities on the peninsula.
