The Center for Long-Range Space Communications of the Russian Aerospace Forces and a military unit in the occupied Crimea were attacked overnight on Dec. 19-20, the Russian news outlet Astra reported, citing sources.
The local Telegram channel Crimean Wind, citing its subscribers, reported nighttime explosions in several areas of the peninsula. In particular, near Yevpatoria and Krasnoperekopsk.
There were two attacks on military units around this time, including in the village of Soniachnohirske near Alushta, Astra writes. An FSB border guard was reportedly injured and a satellite communications antenna was damaged.
The next attack reportedly took place at about 5 a.m. on the Center for Long-Range Space Communications in the village of Vitine, Saky district. According to Astra, there were "at least two hits" on its property, and one piece of military equipment was damaged.
There have been no official reports or comments to confirm this information.
Since the summer, Ukraine has conducted a number of operations in Crimea, with many successful strikes, including on the Black Sea Fleet. The Russians periodically claim there are drone attacks and close the Kerch Bridge to traffic, and local Telegram channels report explosions.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
