Ukraine Strikes Russian Military Base in Crimea, Sends Message to Its People

Ukraine's GUR military intelligence agency claimed that a Ukrainian drone attack targeted a Russian military base in annexed Crimea, resulting in casualties and explosions. Russia reported downing all 42 drones before they could hit their targets. The attack allegedly struck Russia's 126th Coastal Defence Brigade in Perevalnoye, over 200 km from Ukraine-controlled territory. While residents reported hearing blasts and casualties, Reuters could not independently verify the reports. The United States supports Ukrainian attacks on Russian military targets in Crimea, which it believes should be demilitarized.
