After Ukrainian drone attacks had targeted four Russian airfields — Belaya, Dyagilevo, Olenya, and Ivanovo — Russian invaders enhanced security measures at their military airfields in temporarily occupied Crimea.

This was reported on Telegram by the Atesh partisan movement, according to Ukrinform.

“Following the massive Ukrainian UAV attacks on Russia’s strategic bases on June 1, the Russians revised their approaches to guarding their airfields in Crimea. According to our agents within the Russian Armed Forces, air defense units have intensified perimeter patrols of airfields, including those in Saky, Dzhankoi, and Hvardiyske,” the statement reads.

It is noted that Russian soldiers complain about round-the-clock duty shifts and fatigue due to insufficient personnel for such tasks.

Additionally, inspections of trucks at the administrative border between Crimea and Kherson region have been drastically increased.
