The Kerch Strait is a strategically significant waterway in the Black Sea, central to ongoing military and geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine. It has been the site of multiple attacks by Ukrainian forces using drones, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure such as the Kерченская паромная переправа (Kerchen ferry crossing). Russian authorities have suspended maritime traffic through the strait due to these attacks, impacting transportation and contributing to a fuel crisis in Crimea.
