In a dramatic escalation of tensions between Ukraine and Russia, the Ukrainian Air Force claims to have struck a Russian military air base in western Crimea. This comes after reports surfaced that Ukrainian forces had previously attacked the same base last September, causing significant damage.
According to sources in Ukraine's security services, the airstrike was part of an operation inside Russia's Belgorod region on Friday, aimed at destroying a supposed Russian stronghold. The Ukrainian military asserts that an undisclosed number of Russian forces were killed in the cross-border attack.
