In total, over the past 72 hours, strikes against 21 vessels have been confirmed: 19 shadow fleet tankers, one dry cargo vessel, and one ferry in Kerch.

This was reported by the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major Robert “Madyar” Brovdi.

According to Madyar, Ukrainian drones struck nine additional tankers belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet in the Sea of Azov.

The operation involved operators from the Kairos unit of the 414th Separate USF Brigade “Madyar’s Birds,” the 413th Separate USF Regiment “Raid”, and the 1st Separate USF Center.

In addition to the strikes on the vessels, Ukrainian drones hit 53 military targets overnight in temporarily occupied Crimea and in the south of Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories.

As part of Operation “Crimean Power Switch Off”, another six electrical substations were also struck.

As a result, between July 1 and July 8, the Unmanned Systems Forces have already struck 50 energy infrastructure facilities in the occupied territories.

In addition to energy infrastructure, other facilities of importance to the enemy were also hit. A detailed report on these strikes will be released later.

The USF commander noted that all strikes were coordinated by the newly established USF Deep Strike Center, which is responsible for planning and synchronizing operations against targets deep in the enemy’s rear.
