The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that three Russian service members were killed in total during the attack in southern Ukraine.
A video posted by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry breaks down the moment that members of its Special Operation Forces took out a Russian boat during a battle along the Dnieper River.
According to the clip shared on Twitter, Ukraine’s forces detected Russian personnel while conducting reconnaissance of an island in the Dnieper using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Members of the 73rd Naval Center of Special Operations of Ukraine were then sent out on two boats for a „planned attack“ on the Russian-held island, according to the defense ministry.
Ukraine’s military claimed that two Russian servicemen were killed in the initial attack. After the naval forces retreated, Kyiv’s UAV crew used a first-person view drone to target additional Russian boats along the river during the fight.
