What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces reported striking a Russian oil tanker in the Sea of Azov and an oil terminal in Kerch, a major logistics hub in occupied Crimea. These strikes occurred as part of a broader campaign targeting Russia’s energy infrastructure. Following the intensified attacks on oil depots in Kerch, fuel sales were suspended in Crimea.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The targeted facilities are described as key components of Russia’s fuel supply chain, transporting petroleum products for military and civilian use. The disruption of the Kerch terminal, which handles the receipt and storage of oil, directly impacts the flow of fuel across the peninsula.

Ukrainian raids have included strikes on oil terminals in the Krasnodar region and targets within Crimea, as part of a wider effort to degrade Russia's energy infrastructure.
