"I observe wreckage and an oily spot," says the Russian pilot.

Special forces of the DIU were behind the attack. The intelligence notes that the Russian Ropucha-class landing ship Tsezar Kunikov had been stationed for 10 days near a specialised quay wall, known as a "blind," from which the Russians load military equipment and machinery. Quote: "Early visual assessment of the ship's settling indicates that Tsezar Kunikov was loaded during the flooding."
