The Ukrainian Navy has successfully destroyed five reconnaissance UAVs at the Khersones airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea, according to a report from the Naval Forces’ communications department. The attack targeted drone bases of the Forpost and Mohajer-6 models, which are used for surveillance and reconnaissance activities.
The operation is part of Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to reclaim its territory and disrupt Russian military operations in the region. The Khersones airfield, located in Crimea, has been a key strategic location for Russian forces since their annexation in 2014. The Ukrainian military’s ability to strike these drone bases indicates a growing capability to challenge Russian military presence in the area.
The attack has been widely reported by Ukrainian military officials and is seen as a significant development in the conflict. While the full details of the operation remain undisclosed, the use of naval forces suggests a coordinated effort involving multiple branches of Ukraine’s military. This incident highlights the increasing intensity of the conflict and the persistent efforts by Ukraine to counter Russian advances.
