Officials in Russian-occupied Crimea have suspended civilian gasoline sales due to escalating Ukrainian attacks on the region's fuel infrastructure. Governor Sergey Aksyonov announced that fuel would only be available to government agencies, following Ukrainian strikes that targeted oil depots and transport facilities in Crimea and Russia's Krasnodar region.
