Ukrainian drones struck 13 more vessels from Russia's shadow fleet in the Black and Azov seas overnight on July 18, according to Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.

The latest strikes targeted eight cargo ships, one oil tanker, one LNG carrier, one tugboat, and two floating cranes.

Brovdi said Operation MoLoChKa, launched on July 6, has now hit a total of 172 Russian vessels, including 118 in the Sea of Azov and 54 in the Black Sea.

"The objective remains unchanged: disrupt the logistics of oil, fuel, and cargo transported in circumvention of sanctions," Brovdi said, adding that the operation aims to disable vessels without causing oil spills or environmental damage.
