The story so far
Ukraine’s defence forces announced the destruction of a Russian MiG‑29 fighter jet and a Ka‑27 helicopter, alongside strikes on multiple depots and radar sites inside occupied territories. Ukrainian special‑operations units targeted air‑defence and logistics infrastructure, hitting a Pantsir‑S1 system, a Sopka‑2 radar and an aviation weapons depot at Yeysk Airfield, according to Militarnyi.
Ukrainian Pravda added strikes on a radar station, an S‑400 anti‑aircraft site and warehouses, while shelter.in.ua reported attacks on the Kirish oil refinery and airfields at Yeysk and Millerovo. The array of targets suggests a coordinated effort to degrade Russian air‑defence coverage and supply lines.
Coverage varies in detail; The Kyiv Independent provides a summary, whereas Ukrainian‑language outlets enumerate specific systems.
