Ukraine has regained control of gas and oil drilling platforms off the coast of Qirim in the Black Sea, which Russia occupied in 2015.

This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

DIU units returned the Petro Hodovalets and Ukraina drilling platforms, as well as the Tavryda and Syvash jack-up drilling rigs, to Ukraine's control.

Ukrainian special forces also seized a Russian stockpile of helicopter ammunition and the Neva coastal radar station, capable of tracking ship movements in the Black Sea.

During the special operation, a battle occurred between Ukrainian special forces on boats and a Russian Su-30 fighter jet. The aircraft was damaged.
