Details: One Iskander missile launcher was destroyed near the village of Vyshneve in temporarily occupied Crimea. The vehicle had already moved from its base to the launch area and was camouflaged in a forest strip. The launcher was equipped with missiles and operated by a crew. Several Special Operations Forces drones successfully struck the target, triggering secondary detonation of the ammunition.
Additionally, based on intelligence from local resistance members, the Special Operations Forces located and destroyed a storage facility for Iskander launchers in the settlement of Kurortne in temporarily occupied Crimea. Multiple drones reached the site and successfully hit the deployed vehicles.
Background: The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported strikes on a Russian airfield, an oil refinery, and several other facilities belonging to the Russians.
On the night of 13-14 March, Russian forces launched a large-scale combined attack using 498 aerial assets – drones and missiles. Ukrainian air defences intercepted all cruise missiles and most of the ballistic missiles and attack drones launched by Moscow.
However, six missiles and 28 loitering munitions were recorded striking 11 locations, while debris from UAVs was found at seven sites.
