Ukrainian strikes continue to destroy the occupiers' military infrastructure in Crimea, and now the Russians are facing a fuel shortage. The shortage is already affecting logistics.

This was reported by Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy.

The military infrastructure of the occupiers in Crimea continues to be attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and this is compounded by another serious problem - the lack of fuel. According to Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, the shortage is already noticeable on the peninsula and will sooner or later affect the army.

He emphasized that there are many military facilities in Crimea, and despite the absence of the fleet, which consumes hundreds of tons of fuel daily, logistics and fuel supplies are complicated. The railroad that the Russians have built through the occupied territories is damaged, and they are afraid to transport tanks across the Crimean bridge.

Fuel is sometimes available in Crimea, but the shortage is becoming more and more noticeable and will inevitably affect the military. If fuel production has fallen by a quarter, the consequences are felt everywhere," summarized Pletenchuk.

On the night of September 30, units of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully destroyed a radar station of the Russian S-400 Triumph system in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The radar station is the "eyes" of the anti-aircraft missile system. It is responsible for detecting targets and guiding missiles, so without this key element, the system is effectively inoperable.

The fighters of the "Ghosts" special unit also destroyed new enemy targets. In the course of the operation, Ukraine's military intelligence set fire to two Russian An-26 transport aircraft used to transport cargo and personnel.

In addition, Ukrainian military intelligence conducted an effective cyber operation, gaining access to the digital networks of the occupation administration of the peninsula. The data obtained included Aksyonov's official correspondence, documents of "ministries" and evidence of war crimes, including the forced deportation of Ukrainian children.
