"At night, a Special Operations Forces landing group landed on the Tendra Spit and destroyed enemy armoured vehicles, including MT-LBs, an enemy electronic warfare system and Russian fortifications," it reads.

The Artan units and HUR Marine Centre participated in the operation. "During the battle, the Russian invaders suffered losses among their personnel, but the exact number is being determined. DIU stressed that their soldiers completed the task, including the classified part, and withdrew without losses," the communiqué reported.
