Fuel supplies are running out at petrol stations in Russian-held Crimea after another night of Ukrainian drone strikes targeting supply lines, according to Reuters witnesses cited by multiple outlets. On Thursday, witnesses in Sevastopol, the peninsula’s largest city, reported that most local stations had no fuel available, while remaining inventories were unable to keep pace with demand. The shortages follow an escalation in Ukraine’s campaign to disrupt logistics supporting Russia’s control of the peninsula, which Russia seized from Ukraine in 2014. Sky News and Free Malaysia Today report similar accounts from the ground, describing the disruption as a direct effect of strikes aimed at transport and resupply routes into Crimea. The reports do not provide details on the specific targets or the extent of damage, but they consistently describe the result as widespread petrol shortages across the peninsula, with supplies not arriving or not being sufficient to replenish stations. The situation underscores the pressure on fuel distribution in Crimea amid ongoing attacks on infrastructure and logistics.
