The Ukrainian Defense Forces, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, conducted a several-day operation to destroy the logistics that support the vital activity of Russian troops in Crimea, according to RBC-Ukraine source.

According to preliminary information, a comprehensive strike was launched against substations and power supply networks, as well as stocks of light oil products in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation.

The source says that first, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a missile attack on two ferries that ran to the Kavkaz port and were used for Russian military logistics. Then, the Security Service of Ukraine drones hit power substations that supply electricity directly to the Crimean peninsula and the Kerch Strait, including ports.

That same night, the SSU, together with the Ukrainian Navy, struck an oil transshipment depot in the Kavkaz seaport. Through it, light oil products were being shipped to Crimea. After an effective attack, a large-scale fire broke out, visible even from the satellite.
