Ukrainian long-range drones attacked columns of Russian fuel tankers on the land corridor to occupied Crimea.
Video was released by Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov.
According to eyewitnesses, Russian military equipment and fuel tankers were encircled during drone strikes on the highway.
As a result of the attacks and the disruption of logistics on the approaches to the Kerch Strait, queues formed. The occupiers’ vehicles that managed to reach the crossings are forced to wait 3–4 days to be loaded onto ferries.
