The Russian air defense system is destroyed in Crimea

Ukraine says it has destroyed a sophisticated Russian air defense system in occupied Crimea.

Kiev's security service and navy carried out the attack on a Russian facility near Yevpatoriya using cruise missiles and drones, a Ukrainian intelligence source told the BBC.

Video footage on social media showed a fire and smoke near the city, west of the Russian-occupied peninsula.

Moscow has yet to comment directly on the claim.

Instead, the Russian defense ministry said it had shot down several Ukrainian aerial drones and thwarted a separate attack on a naval patrol vessel.

Earlier on Thursday, a number of explosions were reported in the Crimean peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.

According to the BBC's intelligence source, the Ukrainian operation used drones to take out radar equipment, then cruise missiles to hit air defense missiles./ CNA
