Ukrainian drones kill one person, damage two empty oil tankers, Russia says
Russia said Ukrainian drones killed one person, injured several others and damaged industrial sites and two empty oil tankers.
- On Wednesday, overnight Ukrainian drone strikes killed one person and damaged industrial sites in Russia's Saratov region, while also striking two empty oil tankers in Taganrog Bay of the Sea of Azov.
- Saratov Governor Roman Busargin confirmed the casualties as Ukraine intensified drone strikes against Russian oil refineries to address acute fuel shortages during the fifth year of the war.
- Rostov Governor Yury Slyusar reported damage to vessels en route to Rostov-on-Don, while Ukrainian military sources claimed they targeted a dozen tankers from Russia's "shadow fleet" delivering fuel to Crimea.
- Russia's defence ministry reported intercepting 415 Ukrainian drones over 12 hours, while the Ukrainian military confirmed hitting nine tankers in the Sea of Azov despite Russian reports of only two.
- The Sea of Azov serves as a vital supply route for Russian forces in Crimea, and recent strikes against the "shadow fleet" demonstrate Kyiv's strategy to degrade the logistical infrastructure supporting the war.
