Ukraine War, a catastrophic fire broke out in a Crimean port.

According to the Sevastopol mayor, an oil tanker caught fire this morning.

The fire, according to Mikhail Razvogaev, was started by a drone attack. He posted on his website, "The oil tanker caught fire near Kazachi Bay."

Emergency services, according to him, have already arrived on the scene.

He added that it is still too early to determine how many individuals were hurt or what exactly happened.

The fire has affected a 1000 square metre area.

A fire can be seen burning on top of the oil storage area at the port of Sevastopol in Crimea in some social media photographs.

No official statement has been made on the fire's origins, however it occurred five days after Russian authorities claimed to have prevented a drone strike in the region.
