Ukrainian drone attacks on Crimea and the Krasnodar region on Saturday resulted in five deaths and 28 injuries. The assaults targeted key infrastructure, causing significant disruption and raising security concerns.

In Crimea, multiple fires broke out at an important oil terminal following the drone strikes. The Russian-installed governor, Sergey Aksyonov, responded by ordering a halt to fuel sales for private individuals and businesses. He stated that only government agencies would be permitted to purchase fuel to ensure the functioning of essential services.

Simultaneously, an oil terminal in Krasnodar also caught fire due to the Ukrainian attack. The Kertch Strait ferry service, which connects Crimea and Krasnodar, has been suspended indefinitely as a result of the incident. The attacks underscore the ongoing conflict and its impact on civilian infrastructure and transportation.

For the sake of ensuring the functioning of society, only public agencies will be able to buy fuel.
