The shadow tanker fleet is noticeably shrinking,” Brovdi wrote on Telegram. “It appears traffic through the Kerch Strait has been stopped.”

The official also added that “the Ukrainian forces struck 53 military targets in occupied Crimea and southern Russian-occupied territories overnight, including naval assets and energy infrastructure, as part of the ongoing ‘Crimean Switch Off’ campaign.”

According to UKRINFORM, the national news agency of Ukraine, the extent of the damage and the results of the strikes are being clarified.
