The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the destruction of a storage site for the Russian missile system Iskander-M in temporarily occupied Crimea.
According to a statement released on social media, drone operators carried out an attack on a location where Russian troops were storing an operational-tactical complex in the village of Pasichne. A video of the action was also published.
According to the Ukrainian military, high-intensity explosions were recorded at the targeted site. To carry out the strike, the soldiers used FP-2 attack drones.
The Iskander system remains one of the main means employed by Moscow to conduct deep strikes inside Ukrainian territory. In 2025 alone, according to cited analyses, the invading forces launched approximately 492 ballistic missiles.

According to further information released, Russia currently has at least seven different types of ballistic missiles compatible with the Iskander-M, depending on strategic objectives. To strike targets in Ukraine with ballistic and cruise missiles, the Russians maintain at least nine launch areas near the border, distributed across the southern, eastern, and northern regions. The system has been used not only against military targets but also as a tool of pressure against civilian areas.
In another operation, in the village of Vysoke, in temporarily occupied territory in the Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian forces destroyed, using multiple drones, a remote control post of the elite Russian unit Rubikon. Rubikon is responsible for the centralized acquisition and development of unmanned systems, as well as for the development of tactics and the training of operators. In total, between February 9 and 14, the Special Operations Forces state that they struck more than ten enemy military targets in occupied areas.
