Details: The Russian side reports about an allegedly unsuccessful Ukrainian attack on the Samum hovercraft of the Black Sea Fleet in the water area of the Black Sea. The unmanned motor boat was destroyed from the ship’s standard weapons.

Background:

• On 30 August, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refuted another Russian fake about an alleged "destruction of SOF motor boats and personnel in the Black Sea."
• The military counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Navy conducted a unique special operation near Yevpatoriia on the night of 13-14 September, destroying a Russian Triumf air defence system, worth US$1.2 billion.
• The occupation authorities of Sevastopol have claimed that a missile attack caused a fire to break out at a shipyard near Kilen-balka on the night of 12-13 September, and the Russian Ministry of Defence reported an attack by missiles and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs), which damaged two ships.
• Ukrainian media outlet Defense Express wrote about putting out of order for a long time or even completely destroying the Minsk large amphibious assault ship and the Rostov-on-Don diesel-electric submarine. Russian media report that the two vessels were damaged during a night attack on Russian-occupied Sevastopol while in a dry dock.
