The British hirelings unsuccessfully tried to enter the Tendra Spit in the Kherson region, a source in the Russian security forces told Sputnik.
The mercenaries were stationed and trained in the town of Ochakov, the source added.
What’s known about the botched operation:
Russian forces thwarted an attempt by Ukrainian troops to take control of the Tendra Spit on July 28
The enemy suffered significant losses.
Subsequently, a powerful strike hit the port of Ochakov in the Nikolayev region – the attempted launch point for Ukrainian amphibious forces.
Enemy activity was also detected near the Kinburn Spit.
The Ukrainian military’s goal was to create a hype “without any real benefit," Kherson region governor Vladimir Saldo stressed.
