Ukraine announces the destruction of a Russian command center in Crimea outside

Oleshuk praised his forces on social media for their “good work” but revealed few other details about the attack.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday morning that Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed four Ukrainian missiles over the Crimean Peninsula. Moscow did not mention anything about the attack on the Russian base. On Friday, Moscow announced that it had shot down 36 Ukrainian drones. The authenticity of these reports from the Russian and Ukrainian sides cannot be independently confirmed.

Crimea, which the Russians annexed in 2014, is an important area for Russian forces who occupy part of southern Ukraine. The region is regularly subjected to Ukrainian attacks.

Ukraine has managed to destroy or even destroy several Russian military targets in the past, although Russia initially denied this. The Russian Black Sea Fleet base in Crimea, among other places, has been bombed by Ukrainian missiles. The flagship of the fleet “Moskva” has already been sunk, and recently also the battleship “Novocherkassk” has been sunk.
