The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine struck with drones at the Russian forces’ airbase in Hvardiyske near Simferopol two Mi-8 helicopters, and also hit a tugboat in Sevastopol Bay.
“Another result of the systematic combat work of the Intellligence Agency special unit ‘Phantoms’ in temporarily occupied Crimea: using drones, we hit the Russian occupiers’ airbase in Hvardiyske near Simferopol — successfully destroying two enemy Mi-8 helicopters. The estimated value of the disabled helicopters is between 20 and 30 million dollars,” the report said.
In addition, during the airstrike against the Russian forces on the peninsula, Ukrainian intelligence directed a warhead at a tugboat, likely BUK-2190, in Sevastopol Bay.
