Meanwhile, a NATO Bombardier Challenger 650 has been operating for several hours over Romania, approaching the Black Sea coast. Bombardier Challenger is one of NATO aircraft that are always on duty during Ukrainian attack on Crimea, providing reconnaissance support and observing the results of the attack, trying to reveal the positions of Russian air defense systems.
On the night of October 7, the Armed Forces of Ukraine targeted Crimea with drones and missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that 12 Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed. According to Russian military reporters, after the drone strikes, Ukrainian forces launched ATACMS missiles from their positions in the Kherson region. Two missiles struck the largest fuel depot in Crimea located in Feodosiya on the southeastern coast of the peninsula. As a result, two fuel barrels caught fire. The fire has not yet been extinguished.
The attacks on Crimea resumed after a pause of almost three weeks. NATO and Kiev are likely to attempt new larger strikes on the peninsula in the nearest future.
