Ukrainian forces have launched a series of strikes on oil infrastructure in Russian-occupied Crimea, sources confirm. The attacks targeted fuel storage depots and a refinery near Sevastopol, halting fuel sales across the peninsula. Eyewitnesses report multiple explosions and plumes of smoke rising from industrial zones.
This follows a pattern of escalating attacks on Russian energy assets, aimed at disrupting supply lines to the frontlines. The Kremlin has not officially commented, but local authorities have imposed a temporary ban on petrol sales to civilians, citing 'security concerns'. The strikes come as Ukraine seeks to degrade Russia's logistical capacity ahead of anticipated offensives.
Intelligence analysts suggest the attacks may have been coordinated with Western-provided targeting data. The long-term impact on Russia's war effort remains to be seen, but the message is clear: no asset is safe.
