In the temporarily occupied Crimea, a series of strikes were launched against the Russian fleet and military infrastructure. The attack damaged three ships and a number of key support facilities.

This was reported by the SBU press service.

Fighters of the SBU Alpha Special Operations Center conducted a comprehensive operation in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, causing significant losses to the Russian Navy and auxiliary infrastructure.

According to available information, three Russian Navy ships were attacked at once: the Yamal large amphibious assault ship, the Azov large amphibious assault ship, and another warship, the type of which is currently being specified. Separately, there are reports of a possible defeat of the anti-sabotage boat Project 21980 "Grachonok".

The operation was not limited to maritime targets. The SBU unmanned systems hit key elements of military infrastructure: the Dolphin communication system antenna unit, the MR-10M1 Mys-M1 radar station, and fuel tanks at the Yugtorsan oil depot. The destruction of such facilities directly affects the enemy's ability to coordinate forces and provide them with resources.

The SBU emphasizes that this is part of a systematic effort to reduce the potential of Russian troops both on the front line and in the rear, including in Crimea. Targeted strikes on the fleet and logistics hubs deprive the enemy of the ability to effectively use the peninsula as a military base.

Each such strike has a cumulative effect: it disrupts control, complicates supplies and reduces the operational flexibility of Russian forces. The SBU emphasized that the intensity and depth of such operations will only increase until the enemy loses the ability to operate on Ukrainian territory.

Also on the night of April 15, a series of explosions occurred in the occupied Crimea in several cities. There was information about the possible damage to an oil depot in the village of Azovskoye, Dzhankoy district. In the morning, there were reports of a possible fire at the Dzhankoy power substation, which could have caused power outages.
