Ukrainian media outlet Babel reported the information.According to Babel sources, fighters of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) carried out a successful operation against a Russian anti-aircraft missile brigade stationed in the Krasnodar Territory.The strike occurred in the early hours of August 8 in the village of Afipsky, targeting the military unit of the 90th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Russian Air Defense Forces.Two explosions were reported near the checkpoint of the facility. As a result, at least 12 Russian servicemen were killed, with dozens more wounded. Military equipment at the site was also destroyed.Local special services quickly sealed off the area and imposed a so-called “anti-terrorist operation” regime. Witnesses observed a large number of ambulances and emergency vehicles on the scene.To conceal the true nature of the attack, Russian sources began circulating a narrative on social media claiming the explosions were caused by faulty vehicle equipment.Babel sources emphasized that the targeted brigade had previously been involved in military operations against Ukrainian forces in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia directions.New satellite imagery confirms that a Ukrainian strike crippled Russia’s Primorsko-Akhtarsk airfield — one of the main launch pads for Shahed attack drones — likely curbing future raids on Ukraine.
