Ukraine's drone forces struck 14 more Russian "shadow fleet" vessels in the Azov Sea overnight on 9 July, pushing the four-day total to 35 ships, Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdi said. The overnight haul included 12 tankers, one cargo ship, and one tug. The strikes ran alongside a wave of attacks on occupied Crimea's power grid and air defenses, and a blackout hit the occupied part of Kherson Oblast, says Euromaidan Press.
Ukraine's mid-range strike campaign aims to sever occupied Crimea from Russia by hitting the fuel, transport, and energy links that sustain the peninsula's occupation. The effort has already left Crimea rationing fuel and living with rolling blackouts. Brovdi shared a video of the strikes and reported that drone crews hit 14 Russian shadow fleet vessels overnight — 12 tankers, one cargo ship, and one tug, all in the Azov Sea. That brings the toll to 35 tankers, cargo ships, and special-purpose craft in 96 hours. He named the struck ships, most flying the Russian flag, but also including the Panama-flagged, sanctioned tanker Galiaskar Kamal and the tug Alfeo towing a barge named Aphrodite. The SBS separately said operators of the 1st Center, the 20th K-2 Brigade, the 412th Nemesis Brigade, and the 413th Raid Regiment carried out the strikes. It stressed that Russia keeps exporting oil through the shadow fleet despite sanctions, funneling the revenue into its war. The Deep Strike Center, operating within the SBS since December 2025, coordinated all the targets.
Brovdi's four-day chronology shows the campaign building night by night: two tankers on 6 July, ten vessels on the 7th, nine on the 8th, and fourteen on the 9th. Several vessels, including the Sanar-17 and Klimena, appear twice — struck, then struck again. Exilenova+ published a satellite image showing Russia driving hit sanctioned tankers into the occupied port of Kerch. The channel said the vessels are polluting the Azov Sea. NASA FIRMS satellite monitoring also logged new thermal anomalies in the sea's waters near the Crimean coast, pointing to fresh strikes on ships. The NASA FIRMS wild fire monitoring service shows fires north of Kerch in the southern part of the Sea of Azov, and near Russia's Taganrog — on the northeastern end of the Azov Sea. Rostov Oblast Governor Yuri Slyusar confirmed that drones attacked two tankers in Taganrog Bay. Crews were evacuated and no one was hurt, he claimed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that in addition to strikes on oil facilities in Stavropol and Tver, Ukrainian defense forces also hit a reserve fuel storage facility about 800 kilometers from the front line, and an oil-pumping station in Ufa nearly 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine’s border. He said they also struck an oil-loading terminal in the Rostov region about 200 kilometers from the front line, but it was not clear if that was the same strike described by Slusar.
Zelenskyy described the strikes as part of Kyiv’s campaign of “long-range sanctions” carried out in response to Russian attacks and Moscow’s refusal to end the war. "We have long proposed that Russia end this war, and every day of delay should bring the feeling of war to where it all began — to Russia,” Zelenskyy said.
