During the night Ukraine destroyed the missile boat of the Russian Black Sea Fleet

This was reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate.

The operation became possible with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform.

The enemy’s vessel was located in the raid of Lake Donuzlav in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

As a result of a series of direct hits to the hull, the Russian ship sustained damages incompatible with further movement. “Ivanovets” listed sternward and sank.

The estimated cost of the lost aggressor state’s ship is around $60-70 million.

The search and rescue operation of the Russian occupiers in Donuzlav, according to preliminary information, was unsuccessful.

This is not the first successful operation of Ukrainian special forces against Russian ships. In December 2023, they sank the cutter “Smetlivyy” in the Black Sea waters.
