Ukraine claimed responsibility for targeting 11 additional Russian ships in the Sea of Azov during overnight attacks, according to a statement from Kyiv's drone forces commander, Robert Brovdi. The targets included five tankers, five cargo vessels, and one tugboat, aimed at disrupting Russia's 'shadow fleet' and limiting fuel supplies to Crimea. This brings the total number of alleged Ukrainian strikes on Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov to over 116 in the past nine days. Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on Russian shipping and energy infrastructure, including oil refineries, to disrupt Russia's war efforts. In response, Russia's Agriculture Ministry stated it is exploring alternative shipping routes for grain exports but emphasized that domestic food supply and export capabilities would remain unaffected.
