This is the best summary I could come up with:
Kyiv’s security service (SBU) 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, in the west of the Russian-occupied peninsula.
Instead, the Russian defence ministry said it had shot down several Ukrainian aerial drones and thwarted a separate attack on a naval patrol vessel.
“After disabling the radar stations, the navy units hit the S300 and S400 ‘Triumph’ systems, worth $1.2bn, by two Neptune cruise missiles,” the source said.
It launched a major attack yesterday on the port of Sevastopol, the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet.
Officials said the funds would be used for non-military purposes and would be directed towards vulnerable groups and for the provision of educational and medical services.
