Ukraine's military intelligence agency revealed that special forces conducted an amphibious raid on the occupied Crimean peninsula, engaging in combat with Russian troops and planting the country's flag. While the immediate operational impact is minimal, the raid represents a symbolic victory for Ukraine as it seeks to liberate Crimea from Russia's occupation. The mission was carried out by Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence with the support of the country's naval forces. The raid reportedly resulted in losses for Russian soldiers and equipment. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the raid during a press conference in Kyiv. The operation comes amid increasing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with Ukraine targeting Crimea in a series of recent engagements. Ukraine has long vowed to retake Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. The amphibious raid demonstrates Ukraine's readiness to take more decisive action on the peninsula.
