In a significant escalation of tensions in the Crimean peninsula, Ukrainian drones reportedly hit an ammunition depot in the Russian-occupied region, leading to a substantial explosion. According to a source from Ukraine's security service, the attack targeted a facility belonging to the 126th brigade of Russia's Coastal Defence.

Located in the village of Perevalne, the depot housed military equipment, weapons, and fuel, making it a strategic target. This latest development underscores the ongoing volatility in Crimea, which has remained a flashpoint since Russia annexed the territory from Ukraine in 2014.
