The Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a gas platform in the Black Sea on Aug. 10, where the enemy had placed technical reconnaissance equipment and housed up to 40 personnel, according to reports from Krymskiy Veter and public activist Serhiy Sternenko.
The gas platform is still burning, according to Sternenko.
The activist added that the Ukrainian Navy possesses twin Sea Baby drones with a range of up to 1,000 km and a warhead of about 900 kg, which means "the chances for Russians to survive in the Black Sea are diminishing."
On September 11, 2023, Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) reported that it had regained control of the "Boika rigs" — oil and gas drilling platforms near the shores of occupied Crimea in the Black Sea. After Russia occupied the peninsula in 2014, the platforms were towed closer to Crimea's shores.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
