Ukrainian Special Forces hit Russian Shahed drone launch site in occupied Crimea, military says
Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SSO) carried out a successful strike on a Russian site in occupied Crimea used to store and launch Shahed-type drones, the SSO reported on Dec. 1. The attack took place the night of Nov.
Ukrainians in the southern city of Kherson live in constant fear of Russian drone attacks. The threat continues even after the city was liberated in 2022.
The growing ability of Russia’s troops to hit Ukrainian supply lines with drones is seen as a more significant shift than its incremental gains in territory.
A Ukrainian operator who survived the attack told Business Insider that he credits the vehicle driver with saving the crew's lives.
Drones attacked military and strategic facilities of the Russian occupiers in Crimea on the night of November 28. Telegram channel "Crimean Wind" reported that the strike hit the Saki military airfield.
The assault is directed on the pipeline from Kazakhstan to the Black Sea coast in Russia that is operated by Caspian Pipeline Consortium
