Ukraine’s commandos struck a moving Russian fuel train in occupied Crimea

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces struck a Russian military fuel convoy near the occupied Crimean railway station in Dzhankoi in the early hours of 21 August. The sabotage operation, confirmed by Ukraine’s General Staff and the Special Operations Forces Command, targeted a moving Russian train transporting fuel and lubricants. Dzhankoi is located in northern Crimea next to the occupied part of Kherson Oblast.

The attack near Dzhankoi fits a wider pattern of Ukrainian sabotage against Russian military infrastructure in occupied Crimea. Kyiv continues to target supply routes, radar systems, and storage depots to degrade Russian operational capability.

According to the General Staff, the hit disrupted logistics for Russia’s southern grouping of troops. The operation, conducted close to the Dzhankoi rail hub, aimed to weaken Russian supply efforts on the occupied peninsula. The Ukrainian military described the outcome as a complication for the occupiers’ logistics in the south.
