KYIV, Ukraine - Ukraine carried out a drone strike overnight on a Russian tanker in the Kerch Strait, a day after one of Moscow's ships was hit in the Black Sea, a Ukrainian security source told AFP on Saturday.
The"successful special operation", which involved a naval drone and explosives, was carried out jointly with the navy on Ukrainian territorial waters, the source said, adding that the ship was"well-loaded with fuel, so the 'fireworks' could be seen from afar". The oil and chemical tanker is under US sanctions for supplying jet fuel to Russian forces in Syria supporting President Bashar al-Assad.
Traffic on a key bridge across the Kerch Strait linking the Moscow-annexed Crimean peninsula to Russia's mainland was halted for around three hours and resumed early Saturday, according to the Russian highways information centre's Telegram channel. Attacks have intensified on the Black Sea overall since Russia pulled out of an agreement protecting exports via the shipping hub during the conflict between the two countries.On Friday Ukraine said it carried out a seaborne-drone strike on the Olenegorsky Gornyak, a Russian warship, at the Novorossiysk naval base in southern Russia.
Russia said it had repelled an attempted attack on the naval base by the Ukrainian armed forces"with the use of two unmanned sea boats".
