Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) says it carried out a drone attack on several key Russian military targets in Crimea on Wednesday, August 7.
The targets included a Project 02510 BK-16 fast assault landing craft, which was reportedly damaged by fire, and three radar systems used for air defense.
According to HUR, the destroyed or damaged radar installations included a Nebo-SVU, which can detect aircraft and ballistic missiles, a Podlet-K1 for low-flying targets, and a 96L6E mobile air surveillance radar.
Russian media reported a series of explosions across the peninsula earlier in the day. Russia’s Defense Ministry said 18 drones were shot down over Crimea between 6:20 and 10:35 a.m. Moscow time.
Ukrainian officials have not released further details of the operation.
