The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) reported a failed attempt by a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group (DRG) to land on one of the Potemkin Islands on the Dnieper, located between Kherson and the left bank.
The defense forces hit a light-engine civilian boat, which the occupiers appropriated and equipped for military purposes, the Yug operational command said in a statement.
It should be noted that in the morning report of the General Staff on January 23, one ship was indicated among the losses of the enemy.
At the end of December 2022, on the air of a nationwide telethon, the head of the joint press center of the Defense Forces of the Tauride direction, Yevgeny Yerin, stated that in the Kherson region, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups are trying daily to force the Dnieper.
They do this under the cover of islands and on small boats. According to him, Russian troops use the islands as temporary bases.
Defense forces intelligence is constantly monitoring this direction, so they record all these moments. Then the Armed Forces of Ukraine strike at these objects,” Yerin said.
