Ukraine hits fuel supplies to Crimea, sparking a fuel crisis on the Russian-held

Ukraine Drone Strikes Trigger Fuel Crisis Across Russian-Held Crimea

A Ukrainian drone campaign targeting fuel infrastructure in Russian-occupied Crimea has sparked a widespread fuel shortage, with filling stations running dry and the city of Sevastopol suspending fuel distribution. The strikes hit depots, terminals, and distribution networks across the peninsula. Ukraine's military characterized the offensive as an effort to degrade Russian logistics and military readiness on the occupied territory. Russia has responded by redirecting emergency fuel supplies, but shortages continue to worsen. The crisis represents one of the most significant economic disruptions to Russian control of Crimea since annexation.
