As reported, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea, in particular, a Russian drone base in Sevastopol came under attack.

We will remind you that on the night of August 9-10, 2025 , the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a powerful Soviet-Russian radar “Skala-M” in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea . The elimination of this facility will significantly reduce the enemy’s ability to use aviation to strike Ukraine.
