Reconnaissance men raid Tendra Spit: Occupants' losses reported
Yesterday, August 6, Ukrainian special forces carried out a raid on the Tendra Spit, located in the Black Sea. Ukrainian forces managed to destroy enemy equipment, personnel, and fortifications during the operation, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate.
According to the agency, the operation in the northern part of the Black Sea was executed by special forces from the Artan active operations unit and the Marine Center of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
It is reported that during the night, a landing group of special forces landed on the Tendra Spit and destroyed enemy armored vehicles, including an MT-LB, and enemy electronic warfare systems, and also demolished Russian fortifications.

The intelligence agency reported that this is not the first successful active operation by GUR special forces on the Russian-occupied Tendra Spit.
"These actions are just part of a large-scale plan by the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine, which is currently being implemented," the agency added.
