Ukraine hit another 11 Russian vessels

Ukraine said on Tuesday that 11 Russian ships had been hit in overnight attacks in the Sea of ​​Azov.

The commander of Kiev's drone force, Robert Brovdi, known by the call sign "Magyar," said on Telegram that the targets included five tankers, five cargo ships and a tugboat.

He added that the attacks were aimed at damaging Russia's shadow fleet and cutting off fuel supplies to Moscow-controlled Crimea.

Ukraine says its forces have attacked 116 ships in operations targeting Russian ships in the Sea of ​​Azov over the past nine days. On Saturday, Ukraine said it had hit 21 Russian oil tankers, one of the largest Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian ships since the start of the full-scale war.

Ukraine has increased the production capacity of its drones and has increasingly targeted Russian energy infrastructure, including oil refineries, causing disruptions to Russian production facilities and bringing the war to the hearts of Russians, DW notes.
