The released satellite images show 5 storage tanks for petroleum products completely destroyed by fire. Traces of foam used by firefighters to extinguish the blaze are visible near several other tanks.
The images made it possible to assess the consequences of the strike, as Russian authorities had previously reported only a fire in the port area.
