Ukraine launched coordinated overnight strikes targeting Russian military infrastructure in both occupied Crimea and the Belgorod region of Russia. In Crimea, Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) reported successfully striking two Russian military air bases, resulting in damage or destruction to at least seven aircraft. The targeted aircraft included Su-30SM, Su-30, and Su-24 fighter and bomber jets at the Saky air base. Additionally, Shahed drones were targeted at the Hvardiiske air base.
Simultaneously, Ukraine reportedly conducted a missile attack on Belgorod, Russia, hitting key infrastructure. Local officials confirmed that the strike impacted an energy equipment plant, causing significant disruptions. These disruptions led to widespread power and water outages across the city of Belgorod.
The dual strikes demonstrate Ukraine's continued capability to project force against Russian assets and infrastructure in both occupied territories and within Russian territory. The specific targeting of aircraft in Crimea suggests an effort to degrade Russian air power in the region, while the attack on Belgorod's energy infrastructure aims to disrupt civilian services and potentially impact military logistics.
