Ukrainian forces struck oil depots in Russian-occupied Crimea as well as other command and ammunition locations in Russia.

The attacks appear to be the latest phase of Ukraine's bid to choke off supplies and routes into and out of occupied Crimea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country's forces struck several military and energy infrastructure sites, including a military factory that he said supplied components for Russian drones and missiles.

Ukrainian drone strikes placed the Russian southern front under logistics lockdown, targeting fuel convoys, rail hubs and ammunition trucks.

Russia is reportedly fielding a new T-72B3A equipped with the Arena-M active protection system. The upgrade targets missiles and FPV drones, though experts question whether its limited countermeasures will survive repeated attacks.
