All hell is breaking loose over Crimea. All hell is breaking loose over Moscow. Ukraine is unleashing a massive drone swarm against Russia and Putin really has struggled to be able to defend against this Ukrainian drone swarm. You saw there at the beginning of this video a Ukrainian drone on its way to Moscow once again. This morning, what we're seeing these Ukrainian drones do kind of systematically taking out Russia's air defense systems and then having other drones swarm into Russian oil depots and other russian oil infrastructure for example we've seen the kirch oil depot is just absolutely lit on fire take a look at this view of the burning kirch oil depot and marine terminal this huge traffic jam also on the way out of crimea here let's play this clip
Professor Devi Sridhar 1:42
I think we got into some kind of oil tank there. It's just all night. The fire is fucking crazy. I don't know how many years it's been. There's a million-dollar traffic jam again.
Ben Meiselas 2:00
And I'll show you as well these Ukrainian drones smashing into and blowing up the three major ferries that bring the Russian weapons and the Russian tanks and other Russian artillery into Crimea. I'll show you what this looks like over here. Let's take a look at the ferries being blown up. Let's roll this video right off of Crimea. Let's play this clip. now i'll just show you some other footage that we are getting right here as the ukrainian attack drones struck rail infrastructure in russian occupied berdyansk overnight starting a large fire right here we'll show you more scenes with this b-roll from crimea's port of kirch in today's early morning hours as ukrainian drones successfully targeted russian occupied facilities there look right here at the port area of the russian occupied kirch you'll see right here the oil silos on fire more b-roll right here of another point of view of the kirch marine oil terminal you can see for yourself right there also

We're seeing the Ukrainian Air Force successfully strike some of the Russian Shahid attack drones over Dnipro and some other areas using an R-27AAM. I'll show you this video right here of the Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 Fulcrum shooting down the Russian Shahid. Really compelling footage. Let's play this clip right here. Also share with you some footage of firefighting foam snowing on Moscow after Ukrainian drones set the local refinery ablaze yesterday. Show you some footage right here. Even after almost 24 hours, the fire in the oil depot of the Russian-occupied Kerch in Crimea, in Ukraine, still raging right there. Clement Molin explains, as expected, Russian forces now are having to escort key fuel trucks and protecting important road hubs with cannon air defense or drone interceptor teams.
Ben Meiselas 4:46
They're also trying to reinforce the key bridges leading to Crimea. which have been hit as well with the pontoon bridges. Again, as expected, they cannot control all of these strikes, though, targeting the isolated fuel trucks, the night strikes against the convoys and the smaller roads.

What recent events have escalated tensions in Crimea?

Ben Meiselas 5:08
What this is forcing the Russian armies to do, who are already lacking in men to use manpower from afar, to try to now shoot down these drones, which then chisel away on the Russian lines, which Ukraine is exploiting as well. Share with you some more footage that we're getting also over here. You see some of the Russian tourists riding in Crimea, ignoring some of the warning that are happening right there. We'll show you over here This is from the drone attack on Crimea as well. You'll see this oil depot at the port in Kerch that was struck.

How is Ukraine utilizing drone strikes against Russian defenses?

Ben Meiselas 5:54
A fire was also reported at Port Kavkaz on the Russian side of the Kerch Strait as well.
