The Ukrainian Defense Forces used missiles to strike the airfield in the occupied town of Dzhankoy. The launch was captured on video, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The military noted that on the night of April 16-17, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a missile strike and hit certain Russian military targets on the territory of occupied Crimea.

"As a result, the enemy 'lost' 4 S-400 missile systems, a command post for air defense systems, three radar stations, and the Fundament-M airspace surveillance equipment," the General Staff wrote.
The department specified that the enemy carefully conceals the number of affected aircraft and personnel.
The General Staff explained that this caused unexpected losses in weapons and military equipment for enemy forces, significantly reducing the combat potential of the occupiers.

Earlier, Ukrainian forces struck the airfield in Dzhankoy, with a satellite capturing six fire outbreaks afterward.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strike on Dzhankoy and thanked the military for their work.
Today, the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine revealed the losses suffered by occupiers due to the strike on the Dzhankoy airfield.
