What happened

Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) said its drones struck hangars housing Su-30 and Su-30SM fighter jets at the Saky military airfield in occupied Crimea on 1 July, part of what the agency described as a 40-day campaign approved by President Zelensky. The SBU reported five confirmed hits on aircraft hangars and said a fire broke out in one hangar containing a Su-30SM, which it treated as confirmation of a successful strike; it estimated each aircraft's value at $30-50 million depending on configuration. The reviewed reporting relies on the SBU's own operational claims and does not include independent satellite-imagery confirmation or a Russian-side damage acknowledgment; no casualties were reported.
