Experts examined the site and “it became clear that only one drone managed to reach the oil tank,” Mihail Razvojaev said, adding that no one was injured in the fire.
Another drone was shot down, and its wreckage was found on the shore near the terminal, Razvozhaev added.
An official of the Ukrainian military intelligence services said that more than 10 tanks of oil products with a capacity of about 40,000 tons intended for Russian fota were destroyed, reported RBC Ukraine.
The official did not say Ukraine was responsible for the explosion, which he described as “God’s punishment” for a Russian attack on a Ukrainian city on Friday.
Since Russia began the war in February last year, Moscow has accused Kiev of sending waves of air and sea drones to attack Crimea.
Ukraine has said that control of all of its legal territory, including Crimea – the peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014 – is an essential condition for any peace deal.
