The Ukrainian Air Force has carried out missile strikes on a Russian command post in Saky, an occupied region in Crimea. This was reported by Ukrayinska Pravda on Saturday, citing Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk.
Commander Oleshchuk confirmed the missile strikes on Saky and the subsequent destruction of the command post located there. In a statement, he said, “Saky airfield! All targets are down!” This was a clear mockery of Russian news outlets and the Defence Ministry, who frequently claim that their air defence systems down all targets, even in the face of numerous strikes.
Oleshchuk further added, “Unfortunately, our Air Force has lost another command post in Crimea!” Here, he was clearly referring to the Russian and not the Ukrainian Air Force. He concluded his statement by expressing gratitude to the Ukrainian pilots for their excellent work.
On the evening of January 5, various news outlets reported explosions in temporarily occupied Crimea, leading to the Russians blocking the Crimean Bridge. Later, the Russian Ministry of Defence stated that on the night of January 5-6, their air defence systems shot down four air-launched missiles over occupied Crimea.
