Kyiv • UNN
The National Guard is striking equipment on the Mariupol-Taganrog highway to disrupt Russian logistics. Hornet drones have reached the border, threatening a fuel blockade of Crimea.
The Ukrainian military has published new footage of strikes on Russian equipment on the "Novorossiya" highway, which the occupiers use as the main land route to Crimea. Video of the attacks on sections between occupied Mariupol, Volnovakha, and Taganrog was shared by the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov," UNN reports.

The unit stated that the strikes aim to complicate Russian logistics in the south.
"The most reliable way to liberate Ukrainian territory is to move the 'sanitary zone' for enemy logistics closer to Russia itself and occupied Crimea,"
Z-channels reported strikes near the border with the Rostov region
Russian Z-channels confirm the increased range of Ukrainian Hornet kamikaze drone attacks. According to the "Military Informant" channel, the drones are already reaching the "Novoazovsk – Veselo-Voznesenka" checkpoint on the border between the occupied part of the Donetsk region and the Rostov region of the Russian Federation.
Other pro-war Russian channels claim that if drone technologies continue to develop, even deeper Russian rears, including the Rostov region, could come under attack. They also state there is a risk of a de facto transport and fuel blockade of Crimea due to attacks on truck convoys.
Earlier, the occupation authorities of part of the Kherson region had already restricted the movement of civilian trucks toward Dzhankoi following a series of AFU strikes on the "land corridor" to Crimea. Against this backdrop, Sevastopol also introduced restrictions on gasoline sales due to logistical problems.
