The Ukrainian Navy destroyed a Russian invaders’ boat carrying assault troops.
Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa, Navy Commander, published the strike footage on social media.
The Russian vessel was moving along the western coast of the Kherson region when it was detected and subsequently struck.
The released drone footage captures the moment of the strike on an enemy boat, which is reported to have belonged to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. A fire broke out on board after the attack.
The exact timing of the boat’s destruction has not been disclosed. It is difficult to determine the precise type of the Russian boat from the footage.
Знищено черговий катер чорноморського флоту з десантом, що рухався вздовж західного узбережжя Херсощини.
Дякую військовим морякам за гарну роботу.
Разом до перемоги!

The number of enemy combatants on board who were killed remains unknown at this time.
Most likely, a Bayraktar TB2 attack drone executed the strike, as indicated by the distinctive interface shown in the footage.
The Commander of the Ukrainian Navy thanked the sailors for their excellent work in his statement.
Last month, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a successful special operation using both naval and aerial drones in the Black Sea. As a result, targets on occupied gas extraction platforms were successfully struck.
