## 🎯 Key Points

- On the night of September 3, 2026, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit a Russian landing craft BK-16 (Project 02510) in Sevastopol
- In the same area, a Krasukha-4 EW complex and a drone control point in Maryino were hit
- On the mainland, strikes were delivered to warehouses in Donetsk Oblast and a training ground in Zaporizhzhia Oblast
- The extent of damage to the craft is being clarified as of the time of publication

On the night of September 3, 2026, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a Russian high-speed transport-landing craft BK-16 (Project 02510) in the waters of occupied Sevastopol. This was announced by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, whose data is reported by Ukrainian media. As of the morning of September 3, the extent of damage to the vessel is being clarified, but the fact that the target was hit has been confirmed by the Ukrainian military leadership.

### Tactical and technical characteristics of the hit craft

The Project 02510 craft is a high-speed transport-landing vessel weighing approximately 20.5 tonnes and measuring around 16 meters in length, designed for a crew of two. The craft's primary mission is the transport and landing of troops, including on unprepared coastlines, as well as the performance of patrol and counter-sabotage functions. The vessel can carry up to 19 landing troops. Its armament includes machine gun and grenade launcher mounts. Such crafts are widely used by the Russian Black Sea Fleet for the rapid deployment of small groups to the Crimean coast and coastal areas.

### Other targets in Crimea and on the mainland

In addition to the BK-16 craft, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit a mobile Krasukha-4 electronic warfare station in the area of occupied Sevastopol — a long-range EW complex designed to suppress the airborne radar systems of aircraft, helicopters, and drones. Another strike hit an enemy drone control point in the area of Maryino in occupied Crimea. On the mainland part of Ukraine, in Donetsk Oblast, a drone warehouse in Zhelebanom and an ammunition depot in the area of Ilovaisk were hit. Enemy facilities at the Vostokny training ground in Novopetrovka, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, were also struck.

### Systematic work to neutralize Crimea's military infrastructure

Strikes on Russian military facilities in occupied Crimea are of a systematic nature. Recently, the Ukrainian Navy hit a Bastion coastal missile system — a scarce and expensive anti-ship weapon system. Earlier, on the night of August 1, the Armed Forces struck a craft base and Black Sea Fleet facilities in Crimea, where one of the main targets was a fleet of maritime unmanned crafts used by the Russian side for combat operations in the Black Sea. Experts note that the sequential destruction of elements of coastal and maritime infrastructure significantly limits the operational capabilities of the Black Sea Fleet in the region.

### Contradictory data

As of the morning of September 3, 2026, the extent of damage to the BK-16 craft has not been officially disclosed: the Ukrainian General Staff states that the information is being clarified. The Russian side, at the time of publication, has not published independent confirmation or denial of the strike on the specific vessel. Thus, a detailed assessment of the damage — whether the craft was destroyed or sustained localized damage — remains an open question until additional data becomes available.
