Ukraine Sinks Russian Ferry Loaded With Fuel And Weapons In Bold Naval Attack

In a major strike against Russian military supply chains, Ukraine’s Navy successfully sank the Conro Trader ferry, a key vessel transporting fuel and weapons to Russian forces in Crimea. The ferry, downed at the Kavkaz port in the Kerch Strait on Thursday, was carrying 30 fuel tankers at the time of the attack. This incident underscores Ukraine’s ongoing strategy to disrupt Russian logistics, particularly in the contested Crimea region.

The Ukrainian Navy confirmed the strike, emphasizing the ferry’s role in supplying fuel and weapons to Russian occupation forces. The governor of Russia’s Krasnodar region reported that 17 crew members were rescued, with two still missing.

This attack follows Ukraine’s broader offensive in the region, including missile and drone strikes targeting strategic Russian locations. The sinking of the Conro Trader highlights the ongoing intensity of the conflict and the strategic importance of logistics in the war.
