The Feodosia Oil Terminal, located on the southeastern shore of the Crimean peninsula, erupted into flames amid the aerial assault around 4:30am local time
Vladimir Putin's 72nd birthday celebrations will be somewhat muted today after Ukraine managed to hack Russian state TV and deal a punishing strike on a key oil facility in occupied Crimea .
'This will last for a long time. I heard that everything was erased from the servers, including backup copies. The problem, as I understand it, is very serious.' The largest oil terminal in occupied Crimea was set ablaze amid a Ukrainian kamikaze drone attack overnight The Russian occupying authorities did not admit to the drone strike but acknowledged a 'man-made emergency' before declaring a state of emergency.
But at least seven powerful explosions were also heard near the Saki airfield in Novofedorovka on the southwestern side of the peninsula, local reports claimed, suggesting that some of Ukraine's drones penetrated the air defences.One of the first public birthday wishes dedicated to the Russian President came from ultra-nationalist Russian ideologue Alexander Dugin, who declared 'God save the Tsar!' on his Telegram channel moments after the clock struck midnight.
