Ukrainian troops have hit the command post at the Saki military air base in Novofedorivka in occupied Crimea.

The Commander of the Air Force of Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykola Oleshchuk reported on this.

“Unfortunately, our Air Force has lost another control point in Crimea! Once again, I thank our pilots for their excellent work,” said Mykola Oleshchuk.

The Commander of the Air Force also added a photo that probably shows the invaders’ command post at the air base.

On January 6, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the launch of Ukrainian guided missiles at targets in Crimea.

The Russian ministry said that the air defense allegedly intercepted four missiles.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian missiles entered Crimea around 00:30 a.m. on January 6.

No other details of missile strikes, including possible aftermath, have been reported.

Presumably, the Russian command post has been hit by Storm Shadow missiles provided to Ukraine by European allies.

Earlier in the evening of January 5, the Russian Defense Ministry also reported the “destruction” of five drones in the western part of the Black Sea.

The Crimean wind Telegram channel, citing eyewitnesses, reported that roughly ten explosions were heard at night in the Yevpatoria area. In addition, on January 4, explosions were heard in the Saki district, where the Saki military air base is located in the village of Novofedorivka.
