Ukrainian Special Operations Forces destroyed an S-400 Triumph air defense launcher and an ammunition depot belonging to Russia's 18th Army in occupied Crimea, the Special Operations Forces Command reported.
The strikes on 6 October targeted two locations near Simferopol and Yevpatoria. The operation involved the Special Operations Forces Resistance Movement working with Deep Strike units, though details were withheld until now for security reasons.
Resistance Movement operatives gathered intelligence on an ammunition depot of Russia's 18th Army in the village of Udachne near Simferopol. Special reconnaissance units confirmed the arsenal's location before SOF drones struck the depot on the night of 6 October.
That same day, SOF units destroyed a mobile S-400 Triumph launcher positioned in the village of Uyutne near Yevpatoria.
"The S-400 is designed to detect and engage air targets at long range," the Command stated, adding that Russian forces also use the system to strike Ukrainian territory.
The timing of the disclosure follows standard operational security protocols, with the Special Operations Forces Command waiting over a month before releasing information about the strikes.
