The destruction of the Russian patrol ship "Sergei Kotov"
The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), for the first time, published a video showing how a Ukrainian drone attacks an enemy ship.
In addition, the DIU speaker Andriy Yusov officially confirmed on the telethon air that there are dead and wounded among the crew.
Their number is currently being determined.
It is worth noting that Ukrainian intelligence officers' successful special operations occurred on the night of March 4-5, 2024.
It was implemented by the DIU "Group 13" special unit in cooperation with the AFU and with the support of Ukraine's Ministry of Digital Transformation.
The DIU also notes that the Russian ship suffered damage to the stern, right, and left sides as a result of the strike by Magura V5 naval drones.
In addition, it is emphasised that the enemy ship was damaged by fire in the territorial waters of Ukraine near the Kerch Strait.
What is also important to understand is that the sunken ship's value is about $65 million.
Budanov made a statement about the Crimean bridge
Recently, the DIU chief, Let. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, emphasised that his team owes its success in Crimea to the peninsula's inhabitants.
Moreover, the DIU chief hinted at the future fate of the Crimean Bridge.
We promised that Ukrainian special forces would be in Crimea in 2023, and we fulfilled this promise. New surprises await the enemies, and I would not recommend the civilian population to use the so-called "Crimean" bridge.
