Special forces of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine have neutralized the Russians’ last railway ferry in the Kerch Strait.

According to Ukrinform, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.

On the night of April 6, fighters from the DIU’s Active Operations Department used UAV strikes to disable the Slavyanin—the Russian army’s last remaining railway ferry in the Kerch Strait.

"The Slavyanin played a crucial role in supplying the Russian military contingent in the temporarily occupied Crimea with fuel and lubricants, weapons, military equipment, and ammunition.

As the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine noted, in March of this year, special forces intelligence operatives disabled another Russian railway ferry—the Avangard—and damaged the Slavyanin.
