Russian "Flamingo" missiles obliterated a base linked to the FSB in Crimea.
In a significant development, a missile strike against Russian targets in temporarily occupied Crimea was reported on August 30. The attack, which occurred near Armyansk, was captured in a video published online by the Ukrainian monitoring channel "Nikolaevsky Vanech."
Initially, the news outlet "Military" reported that the strike was carried out using "Neptune" rockets. However, the publication's own sources later clarified that "Flamingo" rockets were actually used. It's important to note that there is no mention of the rocket strike being carried out using "Flamingo" rockets in the initial reports.
The video does not specify the type of rockets used in the attack, but the Ukrainian army first employed Flamingo missiles against Russian targets in Crimea in 2025. These missiles enable Ukraine to strike distant and well-protected targets such as strategic bomber bases located on Crimea.
The strike hit a Russian border guard base controlled by the Federal Security Service of Russia, according to reports. However, there is no mention of the attack occurring near Armyansk in Crimea, as initially reported. It's also worth noting that none of the rockets were intercepted by the Russians.
The exact details of the targets hit in the attack are not clear, but the strike is significant as it highlights the escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia in the region. The launch of the rockets was a bold move by Ukraine, demonstrating their growing capability to challenge Russian forces in Crimea.
The origins of the video published online are unclear, as is the source from which it was obtained. This adds another layer of mystery to the already complex situation in Crimea. As more information becomes available, it will be interesting to see how both Ukraine and Russia respond to this latest development.
