Ukrainian drones struck multiple targets across Crimea overnight, igniting large fires at the Kerch Sea Fishing Port and at Port Kavkaz and triggering explosions near the Chonhar bridge and other military sites. Russian-installed authorities in Crimea suspended civilian fuel sales, restricting deliveries to state and security services, and Russian officials said the Panagia ferry at the Kerch crossing was hit, killing one person and injuring another. The attacks target fuel and transport hubs on both sides of the 21-mile Kerch Strait, degrading logistics for Russian forces and further isolating the peninsula.
