On the night of March 5, the Ukrainian Navy, together with Special Operations Forces units, struck enemy units at the Syvash drilling rig in the Black Sea. An enemy Ka-27 helicopter was also destroyed during the operation.
This was reported on the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian Navy.
The Syvash drilling platform, located at the Golitsyn gas field in the Black Sea, was used by Russian forces as an observation point, communications relay station, and location for electronic warfare and short-range air defense systems.
According to the military, this platform was used to control strike drones that were aimed at destroying infrastructure in the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions and posed a threat to civilian shipping.
As a result of combat operations by unmanned naval drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, Russian command and communications facilities were destroyed, and significant losses were inflicted on enemy forces.
During the operation, the Ukrainian Navy also destroyed a Ka-27 helicopter that was attempting to land on a drilling rig platform.
