Ukrainian drones struck strategic military facilities in Crimean Peninsula and occupied parts of the country in separate operations carried out on Monday, the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces said.
The operation Crimea targeted the concentration point of Russia’s 15th Separate Coastal Missile Brigade, which is part of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and is equipped with a key Bastion coastal missile system. The General Staff framed the attack as an effort to undermine Russia’s combat capabilities by targeting military infrastructure and supply chains. The attack was carried out with FP-2 drones.
Known as a K-300P Bastion-P, the Bastion system is a mobile coastal defence system equipped with P-800 Oniks or Yakhont supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles. The missile was originally manufactured with the purpose of targeting naval vessels.
The General Staff reported that the strikes were successfully confirmed, though the full scale of Russian casualties and damage is still being determined. Near Nyzhnia Krynka, a rural settlement in Russian-occupied Donetsk, Ukrainian troops hit an ammunition depot used by Russia’s “South” group of forces, the General Staff said.
Another attack struck a logistics warehouse close to the village of Velyka Novosilka in the eastern Donetsk region.
Ukrainian forces also targeted a drone command center operated by a Russian airborne assault regiment near Pokrovka, in a Russian-controlled area of the southern Mykolaiv region.
According to the General Staff, Ukraine’s Defense Forces are continuing operations aimed at weakening Russian military infrastructure and limiting the enemy’s capacity to carry out offensive actions.
