On January 31, the Ukrainian air forces hit Russian military objects in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Explosions were heard at Belbek military airfield.

Air command spokesman Yurii Ihnat said on TV that it is necessary to hit Russian military objects in the occupied territories.

‘Our tactical aviation pilots are clearing Crimea of Russians with cruise missiles provided by partners. Yesterday was one of those cases, Belbek airfield, in particular,’ he said.

Ihnat added that certain objects on the airfield were damaged as a result of the strike, but he did not detail the information.

‘We have to wait for satellite images and confirmation of our intelligence, which objects were affected, and what are the consequences,’ the spokesman concluded.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.

Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
