Russian "Flamingo" missiles reportedly annihilated a FSB base in Crimea.

On August 30, 2022, a significant event unfolded in the ongoing conflict as three Ukrainian Flamingo missiles hit Russian facilities in temporarily occupied Crimea. The location of the launch was from the Ukrainian coast, and the missiles targeted various bases controlled by the Federal Security Service of Russia and Russian-controlled border guard bases.

The strike also extended to a patrol boat base near Armyansk in Crimea and a border outpost in the region. The publication's sources reported this information, with some earlier media reports mentioning the use of Neptune missiles. However, it is essential to clarify that the strike was not specified to have been carried out using Neptune or Flamingo missiles exclusively.

The video of the missile launch was published online, with the Ukrainian monitoring channel "Nikolaevsky Vaneck" capturing the event. Remarkably, no missiles were intercepted by the Russians during the launch.

Despite the clear evidence of the attack, no information was provided regarding casualties or damage from the strike. The exact locations of the strikes within Crimea were not specified, but the incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.

It is worth noting that Ukraine has developed and actively used Flamingo cruise missiles against Russian targets during the conflict. While the details of this particular strike are still emerging, it underscores the growing capability of Ukraine's military in responding to Russian aggression.

As the situation continues to develop, it is crucial to maintain a clear and factual understanding of the events as they unfold. Further updates and information regarding this incident will be shared as they become available.
