As a result of the explosions that occurred on the night of January 6 near the temporarily occupied Yevpatoriia, another enemy control point in Crimea was destroyed. Ukrainian pilots did an excellent job.

Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, expressed his gratitude for their performance in his Telegram. The commander joked that after the de-occupation of the peninsula, the Defense Forces would have one less control point.

"Unfortunately, our Air Force is left without another control point in Crimea," he wrote.

As a reminder, at least 10 explosions occurred in the area of the Saky air base near Novofedorivka around midnight Kyiv time. Air defense systems were working. As a result of its operation, debris fell on a residential building in the village of Mykhailivka, and a fire broke out there.

The day before, rumors spread online about the alleged elimination of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov, in Crimea. However, Ukrainian intelligence has no confirmation of this information.

On January 4, the Ukrainian military conducted a series of strikes on Russian military facilities in the occupied Crimea.
