This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.
«Last night, the drones of the Special Group «A» of the Security Service of Ukraine «visited» the military airfield «Saki» in the temporarily occupied Crimea. It is a key Russian airbase for operations in the Black Sea», the statement said.
The strike completely destroyed a Su-30SM aircraft and damaged another. Three Su-24 aircraft were also hit.
Russia has suffered significant losses, as only one Su-30SM can cost between $35 and $50 million. The operation also hit an aviation weapons depot on the territory of the airfield.
As a reminder, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a large-scale special operation in Russia — a drone strike on four military airfields. The attack damaged 41 enemy aircraft, including A-50, Tu-95, Tu-22M3 and Tu-160 strategic bombers.
