Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SOF) have carried out a series of strikes on military targets in Russian-occupied Crimea, destroying a launcher from an S-400 Triumf air defence system and an ammunition depot of Russia's 18th Army.

Details: These were joint operations by the SOF Resistance Movement and Deep Strike units. The main targets were an arsenal near the city of Simferopol and an air defence site by Yevpatoriia. The operation took place on the night of 5-6 October, but details have been revealed only now for security reasons.

Resistance Movement reconnaissance teams pinpointed the exact location of the ammunition depot in the village of Udachne. After the data had been verified and the site had been confirmed as a Russian arsenal, FP-2 drones struck it on the night of 5-6 October, triggering a munitions detonation and causing a fire.

That same day, SOF destroyed an S-400 launcher in the village of Uyutne near Yevpatoriia. Russian forces use this system not only to engage airborne targets at long range but also to strike Ukrainian territory.

Background: SOF released footage showing a strike on a Russian base for storing, assembling and launching Shahed-type loitering munitions located at what used to be Donetsk airport. Earlier, their units hit an Iskander transporter-loader and a radar station belonging to the Russians.
