Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces said Middle Strike unit drones struck a storage site for Iskander tactical missile systems in Russian-occupied Crimea overnight, according to a statement on Apr. 28.
Ukrainian forces said concealed military equipment was located at a former missile base near the settlement of Ovrakhky, about 40 kilometers east of occupied Simferopol. From there, missiles could reach the front line or rear cities in Ukraine within minutes.
Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces said members of the underground resistance movement had repeatedly recorded Russian missile launches from the site.
Earlier, the Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported explosions overnight on April 28 in Russian-occupied Crimea, with local residents citing a drone attack.
Sevastopol’s Russia-installed governor Mikhail Razvozhayev confirmed the drone attack and said air defenses had shot down “three aerial targets over the North Side and the Balaklava district.”
Crimean Wind later reported, citing satellite imagery, that a fire broke out at a Russian military unit hosting Iskander operational-tactical missile systems following the attack.
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.
