A failed amphibious landing attempt by the Ukrainian 73rd Naval Center of Special Operations on the Tendrovskaya Spit in the Kherson Region resulted in significant casualties. The operation, aimed at the Russian-held Tendra Spit sandbar in the Black Sea, saw at least 20 Ukrainian servicemen killed, with reports from Russian sources claiming up to 25 personnel were killed. The operation involved four boats and was described as one of the worst days for Ukraine's 73rd Naval Center of Maritime Special Operations during the entire war. Russian forces claimed to have 'destroyed' the Ukrainian commando landing in a speedboat raid. Additionally, it was reported that all captured weapons from the operation were foreign-made, hinting at international involvement. Images of the brutal aftermath were released, and a Bayraktar drone recon conducted between 14 and 27 February was mentioned, suggesting a pre-planned operation.
