On 6 August 2024, the Special Forces of the Artan Active Action Unit and the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Maritime Centre conducted an operation in the northern part of the Black Sea. In particular, they raided the Tendra Spit.
This is stated in a statement by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
At night, a Special Forces landing group landed on the Tendra Spit and destroyed Russian armoured vehicles, including MT-LBs, a Russian electronic warfare system, and destroyed fortifications.
During the battle, the Russian invaders suffered losses among their personnel, the exact number of which is being determined.
Having completed the task, including the secret part of it, the reconnaissance men withdrew without losses.
"This is not the first successful active measure of the DIU Special Forces on the Russian-occupied Tendra Spit. Such actions are only a part of the large-scale plan of the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine, which is being implemented," the intelligence noted.
Tendra Spit is a narrow island about 65 km long and up to 1.8 km wide. The spit is located in the northern part of the Black Sea, near the Ukrainian Crimea.
