The Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that together with other units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, they had hit the facilities of the 126th Coastal Defence Brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the village of Perevalne.

On August 25, it became known that Russian military targets had been hit.

The SOF noted that as a result of the strikes, the enemy suffered losses in killed and wounded personnel.

As previously reported, ammunition storage facilities and military equipment were hit.

It is emphasized that the operation was complicated by certain terrain features. However, the Ukrainian drones successfully overcame the route and reached their targets on the occupied peninsula.

Later, the fact of the operation was confirmed in a commentary to LIGA.net by a representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov.

“We can confirm the information, there was a hit. This is not the first strike on the 126th Brigade. As Major General Kyrylo Budanov said in his recent interview, Ukraine is now able to strike and conduct operations anywhere in the occupied Crimea. There will also be a lot of news there in the near future,” Yusov said.
