Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, which has not been recognized by most of the international community. Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, there have been a number of attacks targeting Russian military sites in Crimea. Earlier, Ukrainian officials have stated that Crimea is a legitimate target in the war given its military importance to Russia.
