Ukrainian drones struck Russian military targets in the temporarily occupied Crimea. An airbase and port infrastructure were hit.

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.

Special forces from the SBU’s “Alpha” unit carried out drone strikes on the “Dzhankoy” military airbase. There, they struck relay stations used by the Russians to control “Orion” strike and reconnaissance drones, as well as warehouses containing weapons and military equipment.

In addition, SBU drones attacked the infrastructure of the “Crimea” port in Kerch.

Ammunition and fuel and lubricant depots located in the towns of Novohryhorivka and Chervone were also targeted.

As the SBU emphasized, these special operations significantly disrupted the logistics of Russian troops and complicated the supply of ammunition and fuel to frontline positions.

Robert Brovdi“Madyar,” commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, warned that vehicles transporting cargo via the land corridor to occupied Crimea and supporting the occupiers’ logistics are legitimate military targets for Ukraine.

He also addressed truck drivers who assist the Russian occupiers with logistics.

“Don’t get behind the wheel of a truck traveling through the land corridor to Crimea in search of big money, even if you’re tempted by triple the usual rate,” he said.

"Madyar" also noted that over the past week, the Defense Forces have managed to strike 360 trucks providing logistical support to the occupiers.

The SBS commander also showed a video depicting the destruction of more than 200 trucks in July.

Incidentally, Russian bloggers, who previously actively promoted vacations in Crimea, are increasingly warning about the risks of traveling to the occupied peninsula. Given the problems with logistics, security, and tourism infrastructure, they are advising Russians to choose other destinations for their summer vacations.
