The SBU reported this on its official Telegram channel.

“Special forces of the SBU’s ‘A’ Center for Special Operations once again successfully destroyed enemy targets in temporarily occupied territories,” the statement said.

According to the SBU, special forces eliminated two light aircraft that Russian troops had stationed at airfields and used to intercept Ukrainian long-range drones.

“This kind of work to ‘clear the skies’ for our long-range drones ensures uninterrupted strikes in Russia’s rear. The SBU continues to hit the occupiers by all available means. They will face just retribution for every crime,” the agency added.

Earlier, on October 13, Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces together with the SBU carried out drone strikes on an oil terminal in temporarily occupied Feodosia and several power stations across Crimea.
