Ukraine says it struck Russian ships every two hours in the Sea of Azov

Ukraine now says it is striking every two hours in the Sea of Azov, east of Crimea. Ninety ships from Russia's "shadow fleet" were hit in the past week, a commander claims.

Robert "Madjar" Brovdi, leader of Ukraine's drone force USF, says Russian ships were hit every 112 minutes over the past week, writes The Kyiv Independent.

On Sunday night alone, ten tankers and four ferries were reportedly destroyed. According to Brovdi, the USF destroyed 90 Russian ships in the area during the week.

The drone attacks in the Sea of Azov are part of a broader offensive around Crimea, which is occupied by Russia. But they are also aimed at strangling the flow of money Russians receive through the shadow fleet's oil and gas exports.
