Ukrainian forces have used locally produced drones to strike fuel supplies and logistics sites in Crimea, prompting local authorities to ration fuel sales. Crimea tightened fuel access in late May by limiting purchases to 5.2-gallon portions and suspended issuance of new ration coupons in early June.
Local authorities reported at least five deaths from the most recent drone attacks. Ukrainian military officials stated the operations are intended to make it difficult for military personnel and defense industry workers to remain in Crimea or use access routes to the peninsula.
The attacks form part of a broader Ukrainian effort to disrupt Russian rear-area logistics. Officials noted that isolating Crimea by drone could complicate Russian supply lines to forces in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
