Ukraine Hits Two Russian Fuel Tankers as Moscow's Fuel Crisis Deepens

Ukraine hit two fuel tankers overnight offshore Russia’s southern coast in an expanding campaign to deepen the fuel crisis in Russia. The two tankers were hit in Taganrog Bay, the northeastern arm of the Sea of Azov in the southern Russian Rostov region.

Yury Slyusar, the governor of the region of Rostov, posted on Telegram early on Thursday that two tankers were hit in the Taganrog Bay. The vessels suffered “mechanical damage” and caught fire, while no injuries or casualties were reported by the Russian authorities.
