Get you up to speed: Moment Russian supply trucks speed away in flames from Ukrainian drone strikes | News World
Ukrainian forces executed drone strikes targeting Russian cargo lorries in occupied Crimea, destroying at least three trucks. Additionally, a marine drone strike was carried out on an oil tanker in Sochi, Russia, with the tanker reported to be engulfed in flames.
Ukrainian medium-range drones have intensified operations targeting supply traffic along the R-280 land corridor to occupied Crimea, a critical route for logistics. The marine drone strike on an oil tanker near Sochi occurred following three days of mourning in Pryluky, Chernihiv region, for victims of a recent missile strike on October 7.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned Russia’s missile strikes, stating they are a “deliberate choice of terror” that targets ordinary citizens and children, and he called for increased international pressure on Russia. In the wake of intensified drone strikes and casualties, Ukraine aims to bolster its defence efforts and secure further support from global partners.
What remains unclear — It is not specified how many Ukrainian forces were involved in the recent strikes against Russian infrastructure.

It came after three days of mourning have been declared in Pryluky, Chernihiv region, from October 7 to 9 for those killed in the Russian missile strike on an apartment building on October 7.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia’s continued missile strikes are a deliberate choice to use terror after 18 Ukrainians were killed, four of them children: Oleksandr, Kyrylo, and Serhii, who were only one year old, and eight-year-old Maksym.
Expressing his condolences, he said: ‘The Russians know very well that they are striking ordinary cities, ordinary life. And the continued use of missiles against Ukraine, against our people, our children, is an absolutely deliberate choice of terror.
‘This is what Moscow chooses – despite all our efforts with partners to bring peace closer. And this is a clear reason why more pressure on Russia is needed and why Ukraine needs more defence packages. It is important that leaders understand this. It is important that the world not remain silent today,’ he said.
