The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck positions of the Russian “Bastion” coastal missile system in Crimea

This was reported by the Ukrainian Navy.

It is noted that as a result of the strike, Russian forces suffered significant losses in equipment and personnel. The final enemy losses are currently being determined.

The Navy emphasized that the “Bastion” missile system is a scarce and expensive weapon system that the enemy uses to shell southern and other regions of Ukraine with supersonic “Onyx” and “Zircon” hypersonic missiles.

As a reminder, on the night of August 16, the Ukrainian Defense Forces also struck a number of key enemy military and industrial facilities, including a rocket fuel production plant on Russian territory, as well as the occupiers’ logistics hubs and warehouses in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Also on the night of August 16, as a result of a large-scale drone attack on the Moscow region, two key Russian marketplace Wildberries facilities—a warehouse in Domodedovo and a logistics hub in the “Koledino” industrial park—were shut down. Thus, Ukrainian forces have disabled seven of the ten largest logistics centers belonging to the company.
