Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) carried out a series of precision strikes on Russian military targets in the occupied Crimea, resulting in the destruction of an S-400 Triumph air defense system and an ammunition depot belonging to the 18th Army of the Russian Federation.

According to information released by the official SOF channel, the operation was conducted in cooperation with the Resistance Movement and Deep Strike units. The attacks targeted two key locations: an ammunition depot near Simferopol and an S-400 launcher in the vicinity of the village of Nyzhnohirske.

The final phase of the operation took place on the night of October 6, 2025, but details were only released now for operational security reasons. According to the SOF, FP-2 drones were used to strike the enemy warehouse located in the village of Udachne, previously identified by scouts from the Resistance Movement. The explosion triggered the detonation of ammunition and a massive fire.
