Ukrainian naval units, working alongside special operations forces, carried out a targeted strike against Russian positions in occupied Crimea, the Ukrainian Navy reported on 28 November.
Ukrainian strikes in occupied territories aim to degrade Russian combat capabilities by targeting command centers, weapons storage, and air defense systems. By hitting key infrastructure in occupied territory, these operations reduce immediate threats and disrupt Russian operations and ultimately degrade their ability to hold these territories long-term.
Command post, drone depot, air defenses destroyed
The operation hit the command-and-control center at Saky airfield, storage sites for Orion attack drones, and multiple air defense systems, including Tor-M2 and Pantsir-S1.
Ukrainian forces also destroyed a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft system mounted on a KamAZ vehicle. The Navy said the strike further weakens Russian combat capabilities and contributes to Ukraine’s broader efforts to reclaim occupied territory.
Overnight campaign stretches from Crimea to Saratov refinery deep inside Russia
The operation comes as part of a wider wave of Ukrainian drone and missile strikes targeting Russian military and economic infrastructure.
In the early hours of 28 November, drones reportedly hit a fuel refinery in Saratov Oblast - one of Russia’s major oil-processing facilities - along with additional military sites in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Ukraine says these coordinated attacks aim to degrade Russia’s military-economic potential, disrupt supply of fuel and equipment to occupation forces, and reduce Russia’s ability to sustain prolonged operations.
