Ukrainian forces struck at the Saky airfield in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The consequences of the strike are currently being clarified, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Defense Forces continue to destroy the Russian military infrastructure. The Saky airfield, which Russia uses to control the airspace, the Black Sea and to launch air strikes on the territory of Ukraine, was struck at night.

“Information on the consequences of the strike is being clarified. The airfield was covered by 'modern' Russian air defense systems, which once again failed to protect an important military facility of Russia,” the General Staff added.
