Ukrainian Drones Struck Eight Tankers from Russia's so-called "Shadow Fleet" that were Delivering Fuel to Crimea Overnight, Kyiv's Military said on 7/7/2026, part of a Mounting Effort to Isolate the Russian-Occupied Peninsula. br />
In a Statement on Telegram, Ukraine's Drone Forces said they had Struck the Vessels, each Under International Sanctions, and with a Deadweight of around 7,000 tons, in the Sea of Azov.
It came a Day after the same Forces said they had Hit Two Other Shadow-Fleet Vessels around the same Area.
Ukraine has Stepped Up Attacks on Logistics and Energy Infrastructure in Crimea in recent Weeks, sparking Fuel Shortages, and a State-of-Emergency in the Territory, which is Critical to Russia's War, on its Smaller Neighbour, now in its Fifth year. Russia Annexed Crimea in 2014, ahead of its Full-Scale Invasion in 2022.
"Striking the enemy's naval logistics complicates the supply of fuel and ammunition necessary to support the activities of Russian troops, primarily in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea," the Drone Forces said.
Kyiv has Long Urged its International Allies to Crac-Ddown on Vessels Skirting Sanctions, by Delivering Russian Oil to International Markets.
Ukrainian Forces have Attacked with Sea Drones, to Disable some Tankers Transporting Russian Oil in the Black Sea, part of a Campaign to Reduce Moscow's Revenue Sstreams.
There have also been a Series of Unexplained Blasts on Tankers, that have Called at Russian Ports. Ukraine has Not Confirmed or Denied its Role in those Attacks, though Maritime Security Sources Suspect Ukraine is behind them.
