Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Ukrainian Army reported the death of servicemen of the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center on Thursday night. Z-channels claim that the dead tried to land on the Tendra spit in the Kherson region.
According to a message from the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the fighters died “ensuring the departure of the main forces of the group after completing a special mission.” The Ukrainian Armed Forces did not disclose details; there are no official data on the number of deaths.
Tendra Spit is a long narrow island in the Black Sea near the coast of the Kherson region. Russian military publications write that if the spit were captured, the Ukrainian Armed Forces would be able to strike at the occupied part of the Kherson region (the length of the island is about 65 km) and the northwestern part of the annexed Crimea.
On the spit there is a lighthouse built almost 200 years ago. The island has been under Russian occupation since February 2022.
