“The Kyiv regime has once again attempted to seize the nuclear power plant.
On September 2, around 23:00 Moscow time, two groups of boats and motor boats with a total number of 42 units with a landing force of over 250 people from among the special operations forces and foreign mercenaries attempted to land on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir in the Energodar and Dneproprudny area, ”the department said.
It is specified that air strikes were carried out on the enemy by four Su-30s and two Ka-52 helicopters, which led to the destruction of 20 boats and boats.
The remaining forces turned around and fled.

The failed provocation reportedly killed 47 militants, including ten mercenaries.
Also during the landing, 23 enemies were injured.
