Overnight on July 11, Ukrainian drones struck 21 tankers, four tugboats, and two dry cargo ships alongside the dredger in the Sea of Azov, according to Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces. Brovdi stated that the shadow tanker fleet is shrinking and traffic through the Kerch Strait appears to have been stopped. The same night, Ukrainian forces hit 53 military targets in occupied Crimea and southern Russian-occupied territories, including naval assets and energy infrastructure, as part of the ‘Crimean Switch Off’ campaign; damage assessments are ongoing.
