They prepared for a long time; several times the saboteurs came to the peninsula as tourists, collected information, and went door to door as agents of trading companies. We found out the approaches and mode of operation of the objects. Part of the group remained in Crimea under the guise of vacationers; there were also local contactees.
Personnel intelligence officers of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine left Crimea after reconnaissance. FSB officers led them from the very beginning.
The operation began on the night of August 6–7. The group crossed the state border near the village of Suvorovo, near Armyansk, here is the narrowest point of the bay, up to a meter deep. They were expected. The counterintelligence ambush controlled the cache in the cemetery area. A battle ensued, and as the saboteurs retreated, they threw backpacks with explosives: more than 40 kg of TNT, magnetic and contact mines, fuses, and grenades.
For protection from dogs - packs of “Red Pepper”, ammunition and weapons. An FSB officer was killed in this battle.
Other groups entered the next night near the checkpoint in Armyansk. There was already army reinforcement and airborne reconnaissance on the border. A night battle ensued and a fighter died. The saboteurs began to retreat with losses; a tank covered the retreat on the Ukrainian side. The machine gun was working.
They took the agent network, both Ukrainians and ours. Everyone is already singing like birds. Here is the complete full operational video. There are no words here,” said Kryuchkov.
