Watch as Ukraine blasts Russian asset in Crimea as both sides increase drone attacks
A Ukrainian strike destroyed a missile complex in Russian-occupied Crimea on Wednesday, August 23, Ukraine's military intelligence agency said. Russia and Ukraine launched drone strikes against each other Wednesday morning, each looking to score a major win in a fight that continues to drag on with little progress or end in sight. Ukrainian intelligence claimed to have destroyed a Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile defense system in Crimea, while Russia struck grain facilities in Odesa overnight Tuesday. The S-400 system shows another instance of Ukraine's plan to strike at Russian assets, even behind the front line. Ukraine's intelligence agency GUR claimed on its Telegram channel that Russia has a "limited number" of sophisticated systems left and that this loss strikes a "painful blow" to their forces.
