On the night of 18–19 April 2026, servicemen from the ‘Ghosts’ special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine in the temporarily occupied Crimea carried out successful strikes against two large landing ships belonging to the aggressor state of Russia – the Project 775 "Yamal" and Project 1171 landing ship "Nikolai Filchenkov".
At the time of the strike, the enemy ships, which belong to the Russian Black Sea Fleet, were in Sevastopol Bay.

Both ships, which Russia used in its criminal war against Ukraine, have been put out of action.
