Ukrainian forces struck near Belbek, the temporary occupied Crimea, overnight on June 12, disabling one Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile division, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

More hits were confirmed on two S-400 anti-aircraft missile divisions near Belbek and Sevastopol.

These strikes destroyed two radars belonging to the S-300 and S-400 complexes. Information regarding a possible third radar destruction is still being verified.

“Additionally, secondary explosions were detected in all three locations where the Russian anti-aircraft missile divisions were positioned,” the General Staff added.

Earlier, on June 10, Ukraine had already conducted airstrikes against Russian anti-aircraft missile complexes in the temporary occupied Crimea, targeting an S-400 division near Dzhankoi and two S-300 divisions near Chornomorske and Yevpatoria.
