Ammo depot in Crimea targeted by Ukrainian drones
A Russian ammunition depot in Crimea was hit in an overnight Ukrainian drone raid, the region’s head, Sergey Aksyonov has announced. The Defense Ministry said the military had brought down 17 UAVs in total, while both sources claimed on Monday morning that no casualties had been suffered during the defensive operation.
The military downed most of the Ukrainian aircraft using electronic signal defense systems. Eleven drones failed to reach Crimea and fell into the Black Sea, three came down on land and three were reportedly 'shot down.'
The damage to the depot in Jankoy district appears to be the most significant result of the night raid. Aksyonov said his administration decided to evacuate people from a 5km radius of the military site and suspend train and road traffic as a precaution. One of the crashed drones damaged private property, the official added.
A separate drone attack took place overnight in the Russian capital, Moscow, where two UAVs crashed into commercial buildings. No casualties were reported.
Mikhail Fedorov, Ukraine’s digital transformation minister, apparently took credit for both raids on behalf of his country. In a social media post, he pledged that there will be “more of those” in the future.
