Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Russia, has been shaken by a series of explosions following a reported Ukrainian drone attack.
The blasts, captured in online footage, allegedly occurred near a fuel depot in Feodosiya. Despite Russian officials claiming 38 drones were shot down and the temporary closure of the Kerch bridge, Russia has not reported any damage from the attack.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses describe windows rattling and car alarms triggered by the force of the explosions.
As the conflict persists, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky disclosed a somber tally: 31,000 Ukrainian troops lost since February 2022.
British military intelligence paints a grimmer picture for Russia, stating February was their deadliest month with an average of 983 casualties per day.
In retaliation, Russian forces have launched thousands of Iranian-made drones at Ukrainian targets. Recent strikes include a deadly drone attack on a residential building in Odesa and assaults on the southern Kherson region.
Ukraine has not shied away from striking back, targeting Russian oil facilities and military assets in Crimea.
The Black Sea fleet has been a particular focus, with satellite images revealing a strategic withdrawal of ships to Novorossiysk last year.
The battle for Ukraine hinges on Western military support. With ammunition running low and a significant $61 billion military aid package held up in Congress, Ukraine's ability to sustain its defense against a larger Russian force hangs in the balance.#ukraine #china #unitedstates
