Ukrainian intelligence has released an intercepted conversation between Russian servicemen, in which they report with concern about the repeated landing of Ukrainian troops in the western part of the peninsula near Lake Donuzlav.
In the radio intercept, one serviceman says it happened near the village of Novoozerne. "Those who have quadcopters were allowed to fly them in coordination with missile troops, with anyone who can shoot them down. We are conducting reconnaissance and repelling attacks," he said.
The Ukrainian intelligence noted that it "can state that the units of the Russian occupying army have problems with psychological stability and coordination".
On the night of 24 August, the Ukrainian intelligence and the Navy conducted a special operation: special forces on boats landed on the shore near the settlements of Olenivka and Mayak, Cape Tarkhankut. They entered into an engagement with the Russians. As a result, the Russians suffered losses among its personnel and some of their equipment was destroyed.
Russia said that on 25 August, 42 drones attacked Crimea. The head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, said that one third of the kamikaze maritime drones reach their targets on the occupied peninsula.
