Ukrainian intelligence published a video on Thursday that purportedly shows the moment Kyiv's forces destroyed a Russian tugboat near annexed Crimea using naval kamikaze drones.
"Maritime strike. All hits on target. Minus one more enemy ship," Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) spokesperson Andriy Yusov said during a national broadcast.
The HUR said one of its units successfully attacked and destroyed a Russian "Saturn" tugboat.
Kyiv has targeted Russia's Black Sea Fleet throughout President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of the country, which began in February 2022. Ukraine has vowed to reverse the Russian leader's 2014 annexation of Crimea, which now serves as Moscow's central logistics hub for its forces in southern Ukraine.
"On June 6, a special unit of the 9th Department of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine off the coast of the temporarily occupied Crimea successfully struck a Russian raid tugboat of the Project 498 Saturn or Protey," the HUR statement said.
"Another ship belonging to the Russian invaders was destroyed," it added. "The destructive fire damage was inflicted after a successful breakthrough of the Russian line of defensive barriers in the Black Sea."

This very public obsession you have with Scott Ritter is, well, unnatural. The next time she lets you out of the basement, you should ask your mother to tell you about the birds and the bees.
I wish the admins would delete this stuff, but sadly, most sticks around.
Are you embarrassed that Putin’s greatest cheerleader in the U.S. Scott Ritter is a convicted pedophile and spent 3 years in prison?
Be mad at Scott Ritter instead. Think about all the times he got away with it before he was caught and sent to prison.
The modern day look of a little Dictator and his wanker.
Blackbird is right. Your obsession with Ritter is unnatural. I do see that you and the others who post pro-Ukraine material never answer the questions about wasted US dollars that are primarily headed to politicians. I wonder if you have some tie to one of them.
