According to SHOT, the Ukrainian DRG tried to enter the territory of Crimea near the village of Olenevka, moving towards Cape Tarkhankut. At two o'clock in the morning, four objects were discovered: one boat and three jet skis. A battle ensued. In total, about 13 saboteurs were destroyed. They had M4 rifles and fragmentation grenades with them. There are no wounded or dead on the part of the border service staff. Planes were involved in the destruction of the DRG. "In the north-western part of the Black Sea, the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft prevented an attempt to infiltrate the territory of Crimea by an amphibious group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, following in the direction of Cape Tarkhankut on a high–speed military boat and three jet skis," the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirms.
