Ukrainian Strikes Hit Russian Logistics and Black Sea Tankers
Kyiv confirmed that a combination of drone and missile attacks have damaged key Russian logistical hubs and three tankers operating under the so‑called “Shadow Fleet” in the Black Sea. The Ukrainian forces targeted oil depots in the Stavropol region, striking three storage facilities and an additional fuel centre.
The operations were part of a broader strategy to cripple Russia’s supply lines that sustain its offensive in Ukraine. By hitting the logistical nodes that feed both ground forces and maritime assets, Kyiv aims to reduce the flow of fuel and equipment to Russian troops.
In parallel, Ukrainian drones struck e‑commerce warehouses in the Moscow and Tambov regions, which officials claim were being used to funnel restricted components for drone manufacturing and navigation equipment. The attacks resulted in eight deaths and sparked severe fires at the sites.
These coordinated strikes come after Russia unleashed a massive missile barrage on Kyiv, employing Iskander‑M and hypersonic Zircon missiles. The assault caused one death, 16 injuries, and extensive urban damage, underscoring the escalating tit‑for‑tat dynamic on both sides.
