"Tonight, drones from Group"A" of the SBU Special Operations Center "visited" the Saki military airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea. It is the main Russian aviation base for operations in the Black Sea," the SBU said on the Telegram platform.

"A Su-30SM aircraft was completely destroyed, another was damaged. Three Su-24 aircraft were hit," the SBU said.

"The enemy suffered significant losses. After all, just one Su-30SM aircraft can cost an average of $35 to $50 million," the statement said.

An aviation weapons depot was damaged as a result of the impact.

"The successful SBU special operation in Sakos is another step towards weakening the enemy's ability to wage a war of territorial conquest against Ukraine. The occupiers must remember that they will never feel safe in our land," the SBU stressed.
