Ukraine claims aerial drones struck 28 Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov

Ukraine-linked sources claim aerial drones hit 28 Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov on Saturday as part of a broader campaign targeting Russian shipping and infrastructure around Crimea. Reuters cited industry sources saying Russia temporarily halted shipping via the Don-Azov Channel and suspended new transit applications through the Kerch Strait following the attacks. The War Zone notes the claims cannot be independently verified.
