According to him, the fire also damaged the roof of an administrative building.

As a reminder, Ukraine has moved to a new phase of its campaign to isolate the temporarily occupied Crimea, focusing its strikes on Russian ships that deliver fuel to the peninsula by sea.
On the temporarily occupied Crimean Peninsula, local residents report ongoing power outages, fuel shortages, rising prices, and problems with social infrastructure. According to them, the situation is particularly difficult in the northern regions of the peninsula.
As a reminder, Ukraine has claimed to have struck 19 Russian tankers carrying fuel for Crimea.
