[ColonelCassad] In the morning there were one of the most powerful strikes on Kiev since the beginning of the SVO.
A large number of "Geraniyas" arrived, after which "Kinzhals", "Iskanders" and cruise missiles followed.
They covered the positions of the "Patriot" air defense missile system in Zhulyany, various enterprises, warehouses, etc.
The following were hit:
Kiev Armored Plant,
482nd Design and Technology Center of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (military unit A-2070),
1899th Central Base for Repair and Storage of Communication Equipment (military unit A-0476),
195th Central Base of Railway Equipment (military unit T-0710),
Warehouses southeast of the Antonov plant - according to unofficial data, there could have been already assembled drones there, ready for use.
The territory of the Zhulyany airport, where, in all likelihood, at least three flights occurred.
As a result of the work of the "air defense titans", a number of residential high-rise buildings in Kiev were also traditionally hit.

THE LANDING FAILED
Last night, Ukrainian formations attempted to conduct a landing sortie in the Tendrovskaya Spit area, with up to 8 boats. Their movement was detected on approach, and a battle ensued.

As a result, units in this area hit one of the boats with a Lancet, which sank. Fighters from the spit also report that one was damaged by small arms. After that, the enemy units turned around and left.
Landing attempts in this direction have occurred before. And each time, unsuccessfully. Now, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to take advantage of the lull in activity and jump onto the spit unexpectedly, but our servicemen responded quickly.
However, this was only one of many attempts, and there will be others, since the Ukrainian Armed Forces have quite a large number of boats of various types. Preparations are in full swing, including near Ochakov, where the SSO Yug and TGr Garuda, a unit specially created for operations in the Black Sea, have settled in.
The video shows the sinking of a boat with the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces.
Servicemen of the 80th Arctic Brigade sank a boat with the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces personnel using the Lancet loitering munition.
This happened during the retreat of Ukrainian units after an unsuccessful landing attempt; one boat with a crew was completely destroyed and sank. The remaining vessels left in the direction of Odessa.

Russian naval infantry frustrate Ukrainian seaborne assault attempt in Tendrovskaya Spit area
On the night of June 17, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to land troops in the area of Tendrovskaya Spit in the Kherson region. This was reported by the region's governor Volodymyr Saldo.
Up to eight enemy boats took part in the action, but the Russian Armed Forces naval infantry confidently repelled the attack, Saldo said on his Telegram channel.
"Our units spotted them as they approached and accepted the battle. One of the boats with the militants was hit by a Lancet and sank. After that, the enemy turned around and quickly retreated," the governor noted.
Control over the situation in this area is maintained, Saldo added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, in January the governor reported that Ukrainian formations continue to make unsuccessful attempts to land on the Tendrovskaya Spit. This concerns the deployment of small sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
According to Saldo, the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not take losses into account; the appearance that they are taking some steps is important to them. At the same time, such activity ends with the destruction of the saboteurs.
The governor stressed that such actions do not affect the operational situation in the region in any way. He expressed confidence that the Ukrainian army will not engage in a mass transfer of its forces across the Dnieper, despite the short distance between the banks of the river.
