Fuel shortages are reported across Russian-held Crimea after renewed Ukrainian drone strikes that target supply routes to the peninsula. Multiple outlets, citing Reuters witnesses, say petrol stations in Sevastopol—the largest city on the peninsula—have little or no fuel, with supplies struggling to keep up with demand. Reuters witnesses also describe shortages in other areas, including long queues in Yevpatoriya. The reporting links the disruptions to Ukraine’s intensified campaign against logistics supporting Russian control of Crimea, including attacks on bridges, fuel trucks, oil-related infrastructure, and a major ground corridor described as the R-280 “Novorossiya” route linking Rostov-on-Don to occupied Crimea through Mariupol and Melitopol. The reports describe the shortages as acute on Thursday, with fuel running out at many local stations. While the articles consistently attribute the shortages to pressure on supply lines, they do not provide independent confirmation of specific strike impacts on individual facilities. The situation reflects ongoing contest over transport and logistics to the peninsula.
