Ukraine regains control of oil rigs in Black Sea

Ukraine has regained control of a set of oil drilling platforms located in the Black Sea, Ukraine's Military Intelligence (HUR) announced on Sept. 11.

The rigs had been occupied by Russia since 2015, following the 2014 illegal annexation of Crimea.

According to HUR, since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces have turned the platforms into military sites, adding equipment like radar and helipads.

The multi-phase operation involved a battle between Ukrainian special forces on boats and a Russian SU-30 fighter jet, shown in a 13-minute video HUR released about the operation.

The SU-30 jet was damaged and forced to retreat, HUR said, adding that Ukraine took helicopter ammunition and a Neva radar system from the site.
