Ukraine claims 'significant losses' to Russia in airstrike attack on Snake Island
Ukrainian forces claimed late Tuesday they launched airstrike attacks on Snake Island in the Black Sea that resulted in "significant losses" to Russian forces.
The Ukrainian military’s southern operational command said in a post on Facebook it had dealt “significant losses” to Russian forces “with the use of various forces," the Washington Post reported. The New York Times reported the military said it destroyed a Russian air defense system as well as vehicles on the island.
Satellite images released by U.S. space technology company Maxar Technologies show the island on June 17 and again on June 21, depicting newly charred areas. Snake Island, also known as Zmiinyi Island, was the site where Ukrainians soldiers refused to surrender to a Russian warship in the early days of the war.
