Ukrainian security forces reported a series of drone strikes targeting Russian military and logistical facilities in Crimea. According to sources, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry claimed that its strike drones hit a Pantsir-S2 air defense system, two oil depots, and two radar stations located in the region, which is under Russian control. The attacks are part of ongoing efforts by Kyiv to undermine Russian military infrastructure in occupied territories.
One of the strikes in the village of Gvardeyskoye resulted in a large fire at an oil depot where fuel was stored. The incident caused significant property damage and raised concerns about the safety and containment of fuel supplies in the area. Details about any casualties or further damage have not been immediately available.
The targeted sites play key roles in Russia’s military and logistical operations in Crimea, a strategically significant region annexed from Ukraine in 2014. The Ukrainian military has periodically conducted drone raids against Russian military assets there, aiming to disrupt supply chains and military readiness. The situation remains tense, with both sides reporting ongoing military activities in the area.
