Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a missile attack on a Russian military airfield in Dzhankoi, temporarily occupied Crimea, destroying or damaging four S-400 launchers, an air defence command post, three radar stations, and a Fundament-M airspace surveillance system.

On the night of 16-17 April, the Ukrainian Defence Forces launched a missile attack and hit designated Russian military targets on the territory of the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

As a result of the attack, four S-400 launchers, an air defence command post, three radar stations, and a Fundament-M airspace surveillance system were destroyed or irrevocably damaged.

The strike caused unexpected losses in weapons and military equipment to the Russian forces, so their combat potential has significantly decreased.

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian military airfield in occupied Dzhankoi, Crimea, overnight on April 16 to 17.

Russian forces launched nine Shahed attack drones at Ukraine overnight on April 16, Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported.
