The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reports on the results of the strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Crimea

On January 4, 2024, the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted a complex special operation in temporarily occupied Crimea.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported on this.

The press service of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine released a satellite image capturing the results of the destruction of a Russian military facility on the peninsula.

The targets of the attack, carried out by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Air Force, along with other defense forces, were Russian radar positions at the Saky military air base and an ammunition depot near the village of Hryshyne.

The report notes that space intelligence data confirmed the successful fire damage to the Russian invaders’ ammunition depot near Hryshyno.

The satellite image features a group of buildings, the top of which was damaged. However, it is not clear what kind of Russian ammunition was stored in these buildings, as the photo shows no secondary detonation after the hit.

Information on other invaders’ losses in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is currently being clarified.
