Ukraine strikes fuel tankers, military targets in annexed Crimea, Russia VIDEO

A senior Ukrainian military official has said that Ukrainian drones carried out strikes overnight targeting fuel shipments bound for Crimea, as well as military infrastructure in Russian-occupied and Russian territory.

Robert Brovdy, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, said drones attacked two tankers carrying fuel toward Crimea via the Sea of Azov. According to his statement, each vessel was transporting around 7,000 tonnes of petrol from the Taganrog area, Caliber.Az reports.

Brovdy also said that footage circulating online appeared to show additional strikes on an oil depot in Kerch, as well as on air defence systems in Crimea and Russia’s Bryansk region.
