The main pipeline at the oil depot, the roadway on the Tavrida highway, 7 houses and 6 cars were damaged during the UAV attack on Feodosia, occupied Crimea, the night 3 March - ASTRA
In one of the most massive UAV attacks on Feodosia in occupied Crimea on March 3, four drones fell on the territory of Marine Oil Terminal JSC in Feodosia.
Workers were evacuated from the oil depot. The main fuel pumping pipeline was damaged and a fire broke out.
According to ASTRA sources, it took an hour and a half to put out the fire, from 3 a.m. to 4:30 a.m.
Preliminarily, there were no casualties at the oil depot. The same tank farm was already confirmed to be attacked in December and November last year.
In addition to the oil depot, the road surface of the Tavrida highway was damaged. In the area of 89 kilometers of the highway, a drone fell and exploded, creating a crater with a diameter of 5 by 5 meters and a depth of about 4 meters.
A Lada car, in which 2 people were inside at the time of the attack, was damaged; they were not injured. Local authorities reported blocking traffic on the highway, without giving a reason.
Photos and videos from the scene also appeared on the Internet (1,2). On the
morning of March 4, traffic was restored.
The occupying forces have removed the last experienced pro-Ukrainian specialists from the ZNPP. Maintenance of the station has been entrusted to Russians and local collaborators who have agreed to work there," stated Petro Kotin, Vice Chairman of the board of "Energoatom."
"At the beginning of the year, there were 360 company employees at the NPP; however, access to the station is now closed to them. During February, the occupiers removed the last of our personnel who remained loyal to Ukraine and guaranteed safety at the station," Kotin explained.
"Sixty percent of shift supervisors of power units have left the occupied nuclear plant. Fourteen percent of Russians have blocked passes due to refusal to sign contracts, resulting in the same number of vacancies. Additionally, Ukraine terminated labor relations with 12% of workers."
"As a result, they currently have only eight shift chiefs left - individuals directly responsible for nuclear and radiation safety. The nuclear units at the ZNPP have been modernized, with designs significantly different from the Russian ones. Russian personnel cannot reliably operate them."
"In addition, personnel from nearby towns and villages have been recruited, many of
whom lack understanding of nuclear power plants," he added.
Ukrainian Magura V5 naval drones are already independent from Starlink and will be able to hit air targets as well, — the head of the Directorate General of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov in a conversation with "Ukrainian Pravda".
▫️Now the drone has been significantly improved, in particular, several duplicate communication systems have been provided;
▫️It is planned to deploy air defense equipment and other attack systems on them for all types of targets: land, surface, air;
▫️Work is ongoing to make them less noticeable, in particular, thanks to submersion under water for a short time;
▫️The maritime drone control point is located in Kyiv. After the Russian Iskander attack, one of the drone factories moved underground;
▫️The first demonstration of the drone's capabilities was a training mission on the Dnipro. The first Russian ship — "Ivan Khurs", was damaged in May 2023;
▫️For the first time, operators managed to destroy enemy ships on the night of November 10 — a group of drones hit the high-speed landing craft of the Russians "Serna" and "Akula";
▫️Now drones work in groups of more than five units, which allows you to allocate roles and determine the order of attack;
▫️At first, the operators try to immobilize the target by aiming at the ship's engines. At the second stage, strikes are made at the most vulnerable places of the ship — they are determined during mission planning. In the case of a successful defeat, the following blows are applied to the hole;
▫️The mission can last about two days. All this time the operators are working;
▫️The price of Magura V5 reaches "millions of hryvnias" per unit, but the performance of such drones is ten times higher than this amount.

Russian offensive on Lyman: "They have certain successes due to large human resources" - hromadske
One of the directions of the Russian offensive remains Lyman in Donetsk region, where the occupiers have intensified assaults since the end of 2023.
The small village of Terny, 20 km from Lyman, became the priority target of the attack. As reported by the Ukrainian command, the Russians have concentrated their reserves near the village and are trying to reach the Chorny Zherebets river. The capture of Torny will pose a threat to the positions of the Defense Forces in the Serebriansky Forest, which are held, in particular, by the 63rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Azov National Guard brigade.
hromadske visited the positions of the 63rd brigade, where they talked with the military who hold this section of the front. Although the Russians are advancing slowly, they assure that as long as these advances are not large-scale and the Defense Forces manage to hold back the offensive.Russian offensive on Lyman: "They have certain successes due to large human resources" - hromadske

The front as of the end of the day on March 3, 2024 - DeepState
▶️ Bilomoskovsky, Siversky and Bilhorodsky sections - no changes.
▶️ Svatove section - Ukrainian Defense Forces achieved some success near Tabaivka. Enemy attacks in the area of Synkivka were repelled. Clashes continue east of Yampolivka and Terny. In general, enemy activity in the "Liman" area has significantly decreased, the enemy has rotated units. We should expect activation in the near future.
▶️ Bakhmut section - the enemy continues offensive actions in Bohdanivka and Ivanivske. While the situation in the first village can be called relatively stable, the situation in the second is extremely bad and may well result in the loss of the village. The enemy is preparing reserves to try to get close to Chasovyi Yar. Katsaps have also become more active north of Klishchiyivka.
▶️ Avdiivka section - the enemy is advancing in Berdychi, but the attacks are repelled. The enemy continues to accumulate manpower in Orlivka to increase pressure and capture the rest of the village. As of March 3, the village is not under full control of the Muscovites. Between Tonenke and Orlivka, the enemy has slightly improved its tactical position. Constant fighting continues in Pervomayske and the surrounding area, the situation there is being clarified. The enemy's attempts to enter Krasnohorivka (M) were successfully stopped. Katsap has increased pressure on Novomykhailivka and continues to gain a foothold in the ruins. It will be almost impossible to drive them out of there at this line of contact.
▶️ Berdiansk section - the situation is calm. The enemy attempted to advance near Novodonetske and Pryiutne.
▶️ Zaporizhzhya sector - no changes. Katsaps are active near Robotyne and Verbove. In addition, some enemy activity is recorded south of Chervone. This could be an attempt to test our defense or just a distraction.
▶️ The Tavria section remains unchanged.
We would like to recognize the paratroopers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade, who continue to perform an extremely difficult task in Novomykhailivka. If not for them, the
village would have been lost long ago. Also, we cannot but mention the good work of the 3rd Brigade and 47th Brigade west of
Avdiivka.
