Ukraine Strikes Paralyse Crimea Fuel Supplies

Ukraine Strikes Paralyse Crimea Fuel Supplies

Ukrainian forces have escalated a campaign of drone and missile strikes targeting fuel infrastructure in Russian-occupied Crimea, forcing authorities to suspend civilian petrol sales and cancel summer camps and tourist activities until September.

The attacks have killed at least four people and left the peninsula's supply routes severely strained, with only essential government agencies permitted to buy fuel.

Kyiv also claimed a successful strike on a missile electronics plant in Russia's Voronezh region, further disrupting Moscow's defence production.

The operations are part of Ukraine's strategy to isolate Crimea and pressure Russia ahead of any potential negotiations.
