Ukrainian Special Operations Forces Strike Iskander Missile Base in Occupied Crimea, Video

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces reported that their middle-strike drone units successfully hit a storage base for Iskander operational-tactical missile systems in temporarily occupied Crimea. The operation took place during the night of April 28.

According to the official statement released on Facebook, the strike targeted a specific location utilized by Russian forces since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The military equipment was hidden on the grounds of a former missile base near the village of Ovrazhky. This site is located approximately 40 kilometers east of Simferopol. Ukrainian officials noted that from this position, missiles could reach either the front lines or cities in the Ukrainian rear within a very short period of time.

“The hidden equipment was located on the territory of a former missile base near the village of Ovrazhky, 40 kilometers east of occupied Simferopol. From there, missiles could reach the front line or rear cities of Ukraine in a matter of minutes,” the report stated.

The operation was supported by data from the underground Resistance Movement, which had observed Russian forces launching missiles from this specific area on multiple occasions. The destruction of these systems is part of a broader effort to limit the operational capabilities of the Russian military.

“Damage and destruction of the enemy's strategic complexes reduce its combat capability. SOF continue asymmetric actions for the strategic exhaustion of the enemy's ability to wage war against Ukraine,” the Special Operations Forces emphasized.

On February 17, 2026, units of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces struck Russian military infrastructure in occupied territories, destroying a storage site for an Iskander missile system and a remote piloting point of the “Rubikon” unit.

The strikes were carried out using drones against rear and operational facilities, including a location in the village of Pasichne in the temporarily occupied Crimea, where powerful explosions were recorded following the impact.
