In a strategic move, Ukrainian intelligence, specifically the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), executed strikes on two key Russian military vessels during the night of March 13-14. This operation has rendered the Russian railway ferry 'Slavyanin' disabled, while the vessel 'Avangard' sustained damage. These ships were integral to the Kerch Strait ferry line, facilitating the transport of vital military logistics including weapons and ammunition for Russian forces in the ongoing conflict.

Furthermore, the operation extended beyond naval targets to include attacks on the port infrastructure in Kavkaz, located in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. This port is crucial for Russian military operations, and by targeting it, the DIU and other units within the Ukrainian defense forces aimed to disrupt the logistical capabilities of the aggressor. Such targeted strikes highlight a notable escalation in the tactical approach by Ukrainian forces to weaken Russian military supply lines.

Additionally, on the same day, strikes were launched against multiple locations including the Maykop air base and the Afipsky plant, amplifying the scope of the operation against Russian military assets. These coordinated attacks signify Ukraine's ongoing efforts to undermine Russian military operations, thereby enhancing its own defensive and offensive tactics in the conflict.
