General Staff of AFU Confirms Strikes on 3 Russian Military Targets, Including Black Sea Oil Tanker

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed strikes on three Russian military targets, which include a Black Sea oil tanker, a pontoon bridge in the occupied Donetsk region, and additional military sites. Concurrently, SBU operations and drone forces targeted Russian oil facilities, two oil refineries, Crimea military sites, and military airfields inside Russia and occupied Crimea.

Coverage emphasizes the expanding scope of these operations, with reports detailing a two-day period where Ukrainian drone forces struck 13 Russian vessels. Outlets providing these details include Kyiv Post, Ukrinform, Українська правда, and Reuters, the latter of which highlights specialized drone units hunting Russian ships from the steppe to the sea.
