Ukrainian naval aviation destroyed a high-speed Russian military boat in the Kherson region. The attack was carried out by a Bayraktar TB2 drone, which dropped guided bombs on the vessel and on enemy airborne troops, resulting in seven Russian soldiers killed and four wounded. Footage of the operation was released by the Ukrainian Navy.
The Tendra Isthmus, a frequent target of operations, is used by the Russians as a strategic point for observation and the installation of stations that extend the range of reconnaissance and attack drones.
Despite incursions by Ukrainian intelligence special units, the area remains under Russian control. The activity of Ukrainian drones in the region indicates that enemy air defense radars may have been neutralized.
This was not an isolated case. In June, the Ukrainian Navy had already destroyed another Russian vessel transporting assault troops, and on August 20, 2025, a new attack, also attributed to a Bayraktar TB2, eliminated five crew members of a Russian boat near Zaliznyi Port in the Black Sea. These incidents reinforce Ukraine’s strategy to weaken Russian naval presence in the region.
