The commander of the Armed Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces thanked the Ukrainian pilots and sailors for their successful combat work.
On the evening of Saturday, March 23, 2024, explosions occurred in temporarily occupied Crimea. The events on the peninsula were commented on by Air Force Commander Nikolai Oleshchuk.
“The sky and sea are the same color! Thanks to the pilots and sailors for the successful combat work! Crimea is OURS! Together to victory!” – he wrote in the telegram channel.
At the same time, OSINT analysts have already named the probable location of one of the “arrivals.” Thus, OSINTtechnical writes that the target was an object of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
“It appears that at least three Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missiles just hit the main communications center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” the report said.
He added that Wikimapia refers to the facility as “Information and Computing Center of the Russian Black Sea Fleet (Sevastopol).” It is noted that this place is simply “furnished” with antennas.
