Satellite images have been released which purportedly show the aftermath of a Ukrainian strike using U.S.-supplied missiles on a key Russian military air base in annexed Crimea.
The photos were shared by the Ukraine military-linked Operativno ZSU Telegram channel on Friday, and were captured by Maxar Technologies.
They show "enemy losses in aviation" at the Belbek airfield, including two MiG-31 fighter jets, an Su-27 aircraft, and a damaged MiG-29 fighter jet, the channel said.
The Context
Attacks on Crimea have ramped up throughout Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, as Kyiv vows to reclaim the Black Sea peninsula. The region was annexed by Moscow in 2014.
