In particular, the Ghosts' special unit of HUR conducted a successful operation against military targets in Crimea. According to intelligence, drones attacked the Russian airbase in Hvardiiske, near Simferopol.
Due to the strike, two enemy Mi-8 helicopters were destroyed. Their estimated value is between 20 and 30 million dollars.
