As a result of the operation, three other Russian vessels were also damaged, with their types still being determined.

Quote: “This is not the first Tunets destroyed near the peninsula’s shores: two Russian vessels of this type were destroyed and another two damaged by intelligence forces in May of this year. 

The Russians used the high-speed transport and landing boats of the KS 701 project in occupied Crimea for patrolling the waters and logistics.”
