"On August 9, 2024, as a result of a raid on the Kinburn spit occupied by the Russians, six units of enemy armored vehicles were destroyed and about three dozen invaders were eliminated," the statement reads.

As noted by the GUR, the amphibious raid was carried out by the Chimera, Stuhna, Paragon, Siberian Battalion, and Terror teams as part of GUR’s Timur special unit with the support of the Naval Forces and in cooperation with other elements of Ukraine’s security and defense forces.

During the mission on the Kinburn Spit, soldiers attacked Russian fortifications at their positions titled Kinburn Fortress, Sea Port, and Suvorov Monument.

It is also reported that near the latter, the Ukrainian soldiers installed the battle flag of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence.

"The Kinburn spit will be liberated, just like all other temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine," the GUR declared.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on August 6, the Artan active operations unit that is part of GUR’s Maritime Center landed on Tendrivska Spit in the northern part of the Black Sea, destroying enemy equipment, fortifications, and eliminating Russian military personnel.
