Attacks in Russia and Crimea
Last night, the Russian Federation reported the largest drone attack. As many as six Russian regions, as well as the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, were hit by UAVs. RBC-Ukraine has gathered everything known about the Russians' powerful nighttime "bavovna" (explosion, meme -ed.).
Also, on the morning of 23 August, about 7 explosions were heard in Olenivka in western Crimea and a thick cloud of smoke rose.
A source in one of the intelligence agencies told RBC-Ukraine that the attack was on a Russian military unit. Later, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported the destruction of the S-400 Triumph system in Crimea.
In July, two drones attacked Moscow at night. One UAV reportedly hit a business center housing a Leroy Merlin store, while the other crashed near the Russian Ministry of Defence building and the GRU cyber intelligence headquarters.
