Ukrainian drones strike Crimea, fires at Kerch port and other sites

newsJun 21, 2026444,884

Ukrainian drones struck multiple targets across Crimea overnight, igniting large fires at the Kerch Sea Fishing Port and at Port Kavkaz and triggering explosions near the Chonhar bridge and other military sites. Russian-installed authorities in Crimea suspended civilian fuel sales, restricting deliveries to state and security services, and Russian officials said the Panagia ferry at the Kerch crossing was hit, killing one person and injuring another. The attacks target fuel and transport hubs on both sides of the 21-mile Kerch Strait, degrading logistics for Russian forces and further isolating the peninsula.

And in an entirely unrelated development, this totally fine, not at all panic-related announcement has been made... bsky.app/profile/spec...

Ukraine is in the process of cutting off Crimea from Russian access. Gasoline sales have stopped and power outages are being scheduled. Ferries are also stopped in places along with Kerch Bridge traffic. G7 and more was helpful for them. Knowing there is support, it is advantageous to Ukraine.

The Russians in Crimea must surely be watching things and deciding now is the time to leave via the bridge before that goes as well and they can still buy black market fuel for the trip.

Let's freedom explode while tyrants implode. That said, planet really needs this to come to an end, a just end.

Just a bit. Class IV bavovna. Not huge, but a significant location.

Looks like Russians and other folks in Crimea are going to have to wait in even longer lines at their local gas stations.

Dangerous stuff all this oil just lying about the place. Probably a good idea to stop drilling for more of it. Eh, conservatives?

Whilst Trump might not be helping them they are clearly getting targeting packages from the pentagon.

I love the smell of burning Russian resources in the morning.
