Over the night of August 15 and 16, the Russian military thwarted a attempt by Kiev forces to attack the Crimean Peninsula.
In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that air defenses intercepted five suicide drones over the Black Sea. Two uncrewed suicide boats which were moving in the Black Sea towards Crimea were also destroyed by naval forces, it added.
Videos posted to social networks showed air defenses in Crimea launching multiple missiles in the direction of the Black Sea.
RIA Novosti reported that traffic on the Crimean Bridge was temporarily blocked during the attack. Two small civilian vessels, a ferry and a boat, were reportedly damaged by shrapnel from the interceptions. However, there were no reports of any casualties in the Peninsula following the failed Ukrainian attack.
The Kiev regime intensified its attacks on Russian territory in the last few months, with Crimea being one of the main targets.
The latest attack on the Peninsula came as the Russian military was working to eliminate a large Ukrainian force that infiltrated the Russian region of Kursk earlier this month.

krym bude čeliť takýmto útokom pokým nebude oslobodená odesa!!! dúfam, že rusi sú si tohto faktu plne vedomí a preto urobia patričné opatrenia!!! to znamená oslobodenie odesy!!! odesa musí byť slobodná, nakoľko tu fašisti za živa upálili 48 ľudí. duše nevinných obetí nenájdu pokoj, kým odesa nebude slobodná!!! inak by ich smrť bola zbytočná. svetu mier!!!
the main problem for russia as a nuclear power is that the barking dog putin has definitely lost the respect of nato, and this is very dangerous for russia and its allies, as well as for multilateralism. nato’s escalation will continue to increase, the situation for russia will become increasingly difficult, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
why is putin allowing this to happen and continuing..?
