The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck at Russian military facilities in the temporarily occupied Crimea. As a result of the operation, several pieces of enemy equipment were destroyed, including three Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft systems, a landing boat, and drone control infrastructure.

This was reported by Crimean Wind.

Units of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, together with the Special Operations Forces, struck at military targets of the Russian occupiers in the temporarily occupied Crimea on the night of March 7-8.

As a result of the operation, the Ukrainian military destroyed three Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun systems and eliminated one enemy mobile fire group.

In addition, the Navy forces and assets successfully destroyed a Russian BK-16 project fast landing boat near Novoozerne.

The occupiers' military infrastructure at the Kirovske airfield was also attacked. According to available information, the Ukrainian military hit the storage site for Orion strike and reconnaissance drones and completely destroyed four control stations for these drones.

In early March, Ukrainian drones attacked important military and energy facilities in occupied Crimea. An aircraft repair plant and an oil depot used to supply the Russian army were hit.

Drones of the Security Service of Ukraine hit the facilities of an aircraft repair facility that repairs and maintains Russian military aircraft.

At the end of February, the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted a series of strikes against the occupiers' military facilities in the temporarily occupied territories. In particular, the strikes hit the area of a missile division in Crimea and a UAV control center in Mykolaiv region.

The largest strike occurred in the area of the missile division of the 15th Separate Coastal Missile Brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in occupied Crimea, armed with Bastion coastal missile systems.
