On 17 May, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine attacked important targets in Sevastopol, Tuapse and Novorossiysk. This was reported to LB.ua by informed sources.
The drones hit Russian military and logistics facilities located in Crimea and on the Russian Black Sea coast.
According to the sources, "there was a fire show in Sevastopol Bay all night". The Sevastopol power substation was also hit, causing power outages.
In the seaport of Novorossiysk, explosions occurred near the oil terminal and at the railway station.
This is the second time this year that SBU drones have visited the Tuapse oil refinery, which Russians have begun to restore.
"Today's special operation proved that the Russians are unable to defend their main naval bases in Sevastopol and Novorossiysk. All they have to do is hide warships in the depths of the ports behind civilian vessels. The Russians can forget about the dominance of the Black Sea Fleet. Ukrainian weapons will find them everywhere!" the source said.
- It is worth noting that this is the third night in a row that explosions have been reported in the occupied Crimea.
