According to the information, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) carried out the attack the previous night. The attack seriously damaged the headquarters with a control point, an ammunition depot, equipment, an electrical substation, technical facilities, and firing positions.
“Last night, the occupation naval forces of the Russian Federation conducted exercises to protect the aquatic area of Lake Donuzlav in Crimea. Thanks to the drones of the Security Service of Ukraine, these exercises were a failure, as the Russians could not even protect their own base, let alone the aquatic area of the lake,” reported the sources.
The released video shows a Ukrainian naval drone hitting the target at Lake Donuzlav, with the Russians responding with small arms and more powerful weapons. The drone’s camera records several powerful explosions on the shore or near the pier, where the occupants’ vessels were located.
In the last seconds of the video, a Russian boat, probably of the KS-701 “Tuna” type, is captured by the camera, appearing to be hit by a naval drone. This type of vessel had previously been attacked by Ukrainian naval drones Magura V5 in Crimea.

On the morning of July 18, NASA’s Firms space fire monitoring system recorded a fire near the village of Novoozerne, located on the shores of Lake Donuzlav, where the Russian occupiers’ military facilities are located. Additional fires were recorded at a greater distance from the lake, possibly indicating attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles.
