Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) reported that it struck a launch system and radar station of a Russian S-400 Triumf air defense system in Crimea, according to Ukrainian intelligence sources. No details on damage or casualties were provided.
Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) said it targeted a Russian S-400 Triumf air defense launcher and its associated radar station in Crimea, according to a Ukrainian military intelligence source. The claim has not been independently verified.
The strike is the latest in a series of Ukrainian operations aimed at degrading Russian air defense coverage over the occupied peninsula. As The Zioneer reported on July 6, Ukraine's Security Service confirmed strikes on two S-400 launchers in the Sea of Azov, alongside oil tankers. On July 4, the HUR claimed it destroyed a MiG-29 fighter jet at Belbek airbase in Crimea via drone strike. The S-400 system, Russia's most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile system, has been a recurring target as Ukraine seeks to create windows of vulnerability for its own aerial operations.
