Ukraine's military announced that overnight strikes targeted key Russian military facilities in occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine. The attacks focused on a Russian airbase and other logistics hubs that support Russian forces' supply and aviation activities.

According to Ukrainian officials, the strikes were intended to weaken Russia's ability to conduct air operations and disrupt the delivery of ammunition, fuel, and other resources to the front line. These are the latest in a series of attacks targeting Russian rear-area infrastructure.

Russia has not officially commented on the incident, but local channels report explosions in Crimea and activation of air defense systems. The strikes are described as part of Ukraine's strategy to degrade Russian military capabilities and logistics network efficiency. The extent of damage is still being assessed.
