Ukraine hits Russian radar, Shahed relay stations and launch site in occupied Crimea
Ukraine’s Defense Forces hit a Russian radar station, ground-based relay stations and a fuel and lubricants depot in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory overnight on Aug. 7, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
On August 7, Ukraine's Defense Forces launched attacks on Russian military infrastructure in occupied Crimea and other regions. An early-warning radar station near Olenivka in Crimea was targeted, as was a site used for storing, preparing, and launching attack drones. Two ground-based relay stations, crucial for controlling Shahed drones, were also struck: one in Olenivka and another in Zaliznyi Port, both in Kherson Oblast.
Additionally, Ukraine targeted two Russian facilities: a fuel and lubricants depot near Melitopol and a repair unit near Yakymivka in Zaporizhzhya Oblast. These strikes aimed to disrupt Russian capabilities and weaken their overall military position. The Hvardiiske airfield in Crimea, utilized by Russian forces for launching Shahed drones, reported a fire overnight on August 7, with ammunition detonations heard in the vicinity.
