Ukraine hits Russian Mi-8 helicopters and ship in Crimea

Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR) reported the information.

“Another result of the systematic combat work of the HUR special forces unit Prymary (Ghosts) in the temporarily occupied Crimea: good drones struck the Russian invaders' airbase in Hvardiiske, near Simferopol, successfully hitting two enemy Mi-8 helicopters,” the intelligence agency said. They added that the destroyed helicopters are worth about $20–30 million.

HUR also targeted a Russian ship in the bay of Sevastopol, likely the BUK-2190. “During an air attack against the invaders on the peninsula, Ukrainian scouts directed a corresponding warhead at the ship,” the report said.

• Earlier, Ukraine’s HUR reported that a Russian small missile ship of Project 21631 Buyan-M was struck in the Sea of Azov near the Kerch Strait.
