On the night of August 24, 2023, a special operation was conducted by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine with the support of the Ukrainian Naval Forces in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The special forces units used watercrafts and landed on the shore near such settlements as Olenivka and Maiak.

When performing the task, Ukrainian defenders engaged in combat clash with the units of russian occupiers. As a result, the enemy suffered personnel and equipment losses. Also, the National Flag has been hoisted once again in the Ukrainian Crimea.

All objectives and tasks were fulfilled. As the special operation was completed, Ukrainian defenders left the scene without casualties.

Occupation administration in Crimea were not commenting on these events despite numerous reports from local residents. The only message from the occupiers was related to the so-called “destruction of munitions according to the established schedule”.

Ukraine’s Defence Forces will continue to assist the occupiers with the destruction of ammunition, equipment and personnel.
