Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted a series of successful strikes on Russian military targets overnight into May 2, hitting a tactical group of Iskander short-range ballistic missile systems in temporarily occupied Crimea, the General Staff reported.
Two key radar complexes were also destroyed in Crimea: the Mys-M1 coastal radar station (Mayak) and the Podlyot radar station in Yevpatoria.
Ukrainian troops additionally struck three enemy drone control points in Heorhiyivka and Novopetrykivka in occupied Donetsk Oblast, a drone warehouse in Novopetrykivka, a repair unit near Kadiyivka in occupied Luhansk Oblast, and an ammunition depot in Ivanivka in occupied Kherson Oblast.
The extent of damage is still being assessed. The military also confirmed the destruction of an ammunition depot at the Kacha airfield in occupied Crimea on April 29.
Overnight into April 28, Ukrainian drones operated by Special Operations Forces’ Middle-strike units struck a storage site for Iskander missile systems near the village of Ovrazhky, about 25 miles east of Simferopol.
