Dzhankoy, Dzhankoyskyy district, Avtonomna Respublika Krym, Ukraine

Dzhankoi, a significant location in the geopolitical landscape of Crimea, has been the focal point of numerous military strikes throughout 2024. Recent satellite images and reports outline the extensive damage inflicted on military installations and infrastructure, particularly the Dzhankoi airfield and nearby railway facilities. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have been active in the area, targeting these strategic sites to disrupt Russian military capabilities.

Notable incidents include the destruction of air defense systems and the successful deployment of MGM-140 ATACMS missiles, causing considerable damage to the airfield and its equipment. High-resolution satellite photos from Planet Labs have provided clear evidence of the aftermath, showcasing destroyed S-400 launchers, radars, and control points.

These actions are part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to reclaim control over the temporarily occupied territories. Each strike carries dual significance: weakening the operational strength of Russian forces and signaling Ukraine's unyielding resolve to its citizens and the international community. The consistent targeting of Dzhankoi underscores its strategic importance and highlights the ongoing resistance against the occupiers by Ukrainian forces.
