The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a successful drone strike on the Russian military airbases Saky and Hvardiiske in temporarily occupied Crimea.
The SSU reported the operation, according to Ukrinform.
For the Saky airbase, this is the second confirmed strike within a week. This time, Ukrainian drones hit seven aircraft hangars used for storing aviation equipment, where Su-30SM, Su-30, and Su-24 fighter jets and frontline bombers were deployed. Preliminary assessments indicate that at least seven aircraft were destroyed or damaged.
At the Hvardiiske airbase, two hangars were struck, reportedly containing Shahed-type drones and aviation equipment.
The SSU noted that the strike was part of a 40-day campaign aimed at exerting pressure on Russia.
