According to the Exilenova+ channel, which is a distinctly pro-Ukrainian channel, this was a \"massive attack by unmanned aerial vehicles,\" with explosions heard throughout the city of Kerch. According to the report, direct hits were recorded at the port, and the goal of the attack may be to \"break through a corridor towards the Crimean Bridge\" for the purposes of future blocking or attacks.\n\nThe LIGA.net agency, which identifies with pro-Ukrainian and Western positions, reported that NASA satellites (FIRMS) identified fire hotspots at the Kerch port and the Kavkaz port on the Russian side. According to the report, which also relies on local Russian resources, this involves damage to a fuel terminal. Additionally, according to UA Stream, the attacks were directed against \"infrastructure related to fuel storage and transport,\" intended to logistically isolate Crimea.\n\nThe ZSU DVIG channel, which is close to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, confirmed that the Kerch port suffered a \"massive drone attack.\" Further reports from UA Stream indicate that due to the attacks, traffic on the Crimean Bridge was halted during the night. As of now, significant damage to port infrastructure is being reported, though it is unclear if the facility has been completely incapacitated."}]
