Indiana Declares State of Emergency Amid Russia-Ukraine Drone War Fuel Price Spike

Russia and Ukraine are escalating their drone war in the Black Sea, disrupting global maritime oil shipping corridors.

US Governor Mike Braun has declared a state of emergency in Indiana due to the conflict's impact on fuel prices. Braun suspended gasoline and excise taxes until September 5, citing 'unnatural levels' driven by outages.

Russia's Defense Ministry reported hitting three cargo ships off Ukraine's Odessa Region, which were allegedly carrying military equipment. Moscow has repeatedly warned that continued aid to Ukraine prolongs the conflict, hurting both Western countries and driving up oil prices.
