Details: The media reports that explosions were heard at 05:00 near the settlement of Mayak on Cape Tarkhankut. The media's intelligence sources stated that a battle involving watercraft and aircraft took place in the area.

Currently, there are no official reports about this fight.

Telegram channel Baza claims that those who stayed at the camping site in Olenivka at night, located near Mayak, heard two loud shots, presumably from a grenade launcher. When people went out to see who was shooting, they saw two rubber boats with about 10 people in them about 10 metres from the shore.

Several more shots from automatic weapons rang out when the unknowns realised they were spotted. The people in the boats swam away after a short shooting. One of the bullets hit the motorhome, no one was injured.

The so-called police of the Black Sea district announced a recruitment of personnel and introduced the Fortress plan after the event.

For reference: Krym.Realii informs that the base of the 3rd Radio Engineering Regiment, which is part of the radio engineering troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces, is located in the settlement of Mayak. A radar node is also located on the Cape Tarkhankut. Positions for air defence systems have been prepared along the perimeter.
