Fires have been observed near a Russian air defense system located in Kerch, Crimea, with thermal radiation detected close to Cape Fonar. The air defense system in question is identified as a 'Pantsir-S1,' which is positioned to provide security for the Crimean port and the Kerch Bridge from the north.

During the night of July 13, residents in Kerch reported hearing numerous shots and explosions. Two fires reportedly broke out on the highway leading from the Chonhar bridge on the Crimean side. "It is likely that more fuel trucks and trucks are burning," noted the source "Krymski Veter."

In Sevastopol on the same night, a strike likely occurred near the railway bridge crossing the Fiolent highway. This railway branch leads to the port of Komyshovaya Bay. According to a Telegram channel, a fire was reported at sea in the Heroivske district of Kerch, involving an unidentified vessel.

"Thermal radiation was recorded in the Kerch Strait at night, when our subscribers in the city heard shots and explosions. Drones were also seen flying over the strait," the report stated. Previously, it was reported that Ukrainian drones had struck over 360 Russian fuel trucks and trucks traveling to Crimea within a week.
