Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles are attacking Russian oil tankers in the Sea of Azov as they head toward Crimea, according to reports. The strikes are ongoing, with details on the number of tankers hit or casualties not yet available.
The attack follows earlier footage today of a Ukrainian drone striking two Russian tankers near Crimea, as The Zioneer reported at 14:15 Jerusalem. That earlier incident was also in the Sea of Azov area.
Ukraine has been expanding its naval strike capabilities in the region. On June 5, The Zioneer reported that Ukraine struck five Russian cargo ships in the Sea of Azov, indicating a widening of its maritime strike capacity. The current strikes appear to continue this pattern of targeting Russian naval assets attempting to supply Crimea.
