The details of the attack and the video were made public by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The successful mission to destroy the ship was carried out by the special forces of "Group 13" of the Main Directorate of Intelligence.
"The enemy ship was attacked by Magura V5 naval strike drones near the coasts of the temporarily occupied Crimea, close to the city of Alupka. As a result, the 'Caesar Kunikov' sustained critical breaches on its left side and began to sink. Symbolically, the Russian officer, after whom the ship was named, was killed exactly 81 years ago," the GUR reported.
The search and rescue operation by the occupiers was unsuccessful.
