Ukrainian special forces have said they blew up a drilling platform in the Black Sea that Russia was using to enhance the range of its drones.
Equipment on the platform was used for drones involved in attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and to control the northwestern part of the sea, a statement read.
A showy video published alongside the statement featured troops landing on the platform in the dawn hours, operating inside and moving away from it while a bright explosion is seen in the background.
The operation, dubbed Citadel, was conducted at night and resulted in the capture of “important enemy equipment”.
“A successful special operation ensured safer movement of ships and limited the enemy’s capabilities in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.”
