On the night of Friday, July 26, units of the missile forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with other units of the Defense Forces, as part of a unified plan, struck the Saki airfield in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
The Saki airfield is one of the operational airfields that Russia uses to control the airspace, in particular the Black Sea waters, and to launch air strikes on Ukrainian territory.
“It is important to note that the airfield was covered by "modern" Russian air defense systems, which once again failed to protect an important Russian military facility,” reported the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Information on the consequences of the strike is being clarified.
Ukrainian forces have been actively targeting military objects in temporarily occupied Crimea. On July 23, the Armed Forces of Ukraine caused significant damage to the Russian ferry "Slavianin" during a strike on the port of "Kavkaz" near Kerch.
