The ferry, reportedly carrying 30 fuel tanks, was targeted by what is believed to be a Neptune missile launched from the Odesa region.
Ukraine sank a Russian ferry carrying fuel tanks in an aerial attack on a southern Russian port Kavkaz next to the annexed Crimean peninsula on Thursday, August 22, Russian officials reported, initially describing it as an “attempted terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime.”
Kyiv has heavily targeted Crimea — a key logistics and military hub for Moscow — since Russia launched its full-scale military offensive in February 2022.
“A railroad ferry carrying fuel was hit in the port of Kavkaz,” the Russian governor of the Krasnodar region, where the port is located, said in a post on Telegram.
Local authorities deployed a fire train and 34 pieces of equipment to contain the blaze. The ferry, reportedly carrying 30 fuel tanks, was targeted by what is believed to be a Neptune missile launched from the Odesa region, although some sources suggest a Storm Shadow missile may have been used.
