MOSCOW, September 4. /TASS/. The Russian Navy’s aviation destroyed four US-made military speedboats carrying a Ukrainian landing force on their way toward Crimea.

In the early hours of September 4, aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet destroyed four US-made Willard Sea Force speedboats carrying a Ukrainian landing force toward Cape Tarkhankut of the Crimean Peninsula, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The Russian defense agency said earlier that the Black Sea Fleet had established permanent control of the situation in the Black Sea using all types of reconnaissance. The ministry said that this had allowed the naval air force on August 29-30 to foil an attempt by a Ukrainian special operations unit to land on the Crimean coast and carry out terrorist attacks.
