Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces report striking more than 60 targets in Crimea and occupied territories
"The night of June 23 was a fiery one in Crimea. Deep in the enemy's operational rear, the Birds of the USF made plenty of noise. More than 60 sensitive enemy targets were engaged using medium-class drones alone," he said.
According to Brovdi, the targets hit included:
Near Kerch, units of the 1st Separate USF Center struck three Orion drones, which Russian forces use as platforms for guided aerial bombs and small cruise missiles.
In the same area, fuel storage tanks at the Kerch (Kamysh-Burun) Thermal Power Plant were also hit.
In the vicinity of Bagerove, a Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system was struck. Near Kurortne, according to the USF commander, the following targets were hit:
Separately, Unmanned Systems Forces units attacked a Nebo-U radar station near Kerch.
The 427th Separate USF Brigade "Rarog" and the 413th Separate USF Regiment "Raid" targeted the 330/110 kV West Crimea electrical substation near Karierne.
A gas distribution station in Simferopol was also struck near Trudove.
In addition to Crimea, USF units carried out strikes against targets in the temporarily occupied part of the Donetsk region and on the southern front:
According to Brovdi, Russian military logistics in Crimea, as well as in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, were targeted by units from "Madyar's Birds," the K-2 Brigade, Nemesis, and the 1st Separate USF Center.
"Moscow will fall in Crimea. The Birds of the USF will continue to contribute to that," the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces emphasized.
As previously reported, Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed on June 23 that it had shot down 143 Ukrainian drones overnight, including some over occupied Crimea. Local Telegram channels reported strikes on a thermal power plant in Kerch.
Meanwhile, the Telegram channel Krymsky Veter reported a series of explosions across the peninsula during the night.
The channel specifically reported a fire near an electrical substation close to the village of Mykolaivka in the Sovietskyi district, as well as a fire at the Yuzhna railway station in Kerch.
Later, monitoring groups confirmed that a fuel reservoir at the Kerch thermal power plant had been hit, causing a fire.
It was also reported that Ukrainian forces destroyed a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal near the village of Rozdolne in temporarily occupied Crimea. According to the Special Operations Forces, the bridge was an important logistics route supporting Russian troops on the southern front.
