It's a comprehensive strike.

Soldiers of the Ukrainian Security Service's Alpha Center have launched a comprehensive strike on Russia's temporarily occupied Crimea. As a result of the attack, it is known about the defeat of three ships of the Russian fleet and strikes on logistics and radars of the enemy. This was reported by the press service of the SBU.

It is noted that fighters of the SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center conducted an operation in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea, during which several Russian warships were hit, in particular the large landing ships Yamal and Azov, as well as another vessel of an unspecified type.

It is also reported that a Russian anti-diversion boat of Project 21980 "Grachonok" was probably hit.

In addition, SBU drones damaged elements of military infrastructure, in particular, the antenna unit of the communication system "Dolphin", radar station MR-10M1 "Mys-M1", as well as fuel tanks at the oil depot "Yugtorsan".

"The SBU systematically and consistently destroys the enemy along the entire front line, including temporarily occupied Crimea. The Service's warriors reduce the fleet's combat capability, purposefully undermine logistics and deprive the enemy of the ability to fully utilize the peninsula as a military base. Each defeat of ships and critical infrastructure has an accumulative effect and directly affects the Russian Federation's ability to wage war. This work will not stop: the intensity and depth of SBU operations will only grow until the enemy loses the ability to operate on Ukrainian territory," the statement said.
