Ukrainian intelligence hit four Russian Tunets boats in Crimea, not two as previously stated, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, two of the four affected boats, the KS-701 Tunets, were destroyed.

"Therefore, the total losses of the aggressor state Russia from the attack by Ukrainian strike naval drones Magura V5 amounted to four high-speed landing craft KS-701 Tunets," clarified the Intelligence.

They added that the enemy used such boats for logistics and patrolling the waters near the temporarily occupied Crimea.
