KYIV - Ukraine's domestic security service said on Monday that it destroyed one Russian jet fighter and damaged four other military aircraft during an overnight drone strike on Russian-occupied Crimea.

In a statement, it said it had struck a military aviation depot, "completely" destroying one Su-30, damaging another, and also damaging three Su-24 jet bombers.

Reuters could not independently verify the report.
