Special forces of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine carried out a raid on enemy positions in the Tendra Spit on August 6, 2024. The operation involved the Artan active action unit and the DIU Naval Center, with coordinated actions using high-speed boats and FPV drones. According to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, a Special Forces landing group landed on Tendrivska Spit and successfully destroyed enemy armored vehicles, electronic warfare systems, and fortifications. The exact number of losses suffered by the Russian invaders is currently being clarified. This is not the first successful mission of the DIU Special Forces to the Russian-occupied Tendra Spit, and it is part of a larger-scale plan of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine.
