Ukraine successfully regains control of seized Black Sea oil platforms from Russia

Ukrainian forces have recaptured gas and oil drilling platforms off the coast of Crimea in the Black Sea, reclaiming a strategic surveillance site from Russian forces. Videos of the raid on the platforms, known as Boyko Towers, circulated online, and Ukrainian soldiers battled against a Russian fighter jet during the operation. The platforms had been under Russian control since 2015, following the illegal annexation of Crimea. Russian sources dispute Ukraine's claims, calling it a PR campaign, but Ukraine sees the recapture as a significant step in its struggle for control over the Black Sea.
