01 · THE DISPATCH

Footage released Monday afternoon on a Hebrew-language channel shows a Ukrainian one-way attack drone striking two Russian oil tankers near Crimea, according to the source. The vessels were reportedly attempting to transport fuel to the Crimean Peninsula. The same video clip also appears to capture a hit on an S-400 air defense missile launcher, though the exact location and timing of the strike have not been specified.

Ukrainian long-range drone operations against Russian military and energy infrastructure in and around Crimea have been a recurring theme in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has previously reported. Past strikes have targeted fuel depots, airbases, and communications centers, but no direct connection between this footage and earlier reported attacks has been confirmed. The footage remains unverified by independent sources.
