Fuel Crisis Worsens in Crimea Amid Ukrainian Drone Attacks | Science-Environment
Ukraine says drone strikes on Russian supply routes have left Crimea with gasoline rationing and empty stations as fuel logistics come under pressure.
- On Monday, drivers in Russian-occupied Crimea faced gasoline rationing after Ukrainian drone strikes disrupted the R-280 Novorossiya highway, the main supply route linking the Rostov region to the peninsula.

- Gas stations capped sales at 20 liters per driver, with shortages of AI-92 and AI-95 fuel reported across the peninsula. Russia-installed Yevgeny Balitsky warned that drones are deploying a "comprehensive remote mining system" creating deadly hazards.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the Kyiv leadership of opening a "new page in a series of crimes," citing Sunday's drone attack on an apartment building in Henichesk that killed one child and injured 11.
- Ukraine has struck 15 Russian oil refineries from January to May as part of a broader campaign amid intensified Western sanctions, while Russia has halted aviation fuel exports until late November, escalating regional fuel shortages.
