Details: The SSU noted that one of the platforms was first hit by an aerial drone and then by a naval drone. A Neva radar station used by the Russians to monitor aerial and surface conditions was damaged as a result of the attack. Storage points and a residential block on the platform were also destroyed.

Quote: "As part of the same special operation, SSU specialised officers used two types of drones, demonstrating the effectiveness of joint deployment. Once again, we reminded the enemy that there is no place for Russian junk in the Black Sea." 

Details: They also reiterated that SSU uncrewed surface vessels had previously struck the Crimean Bridge and 11 Russian warships. As a result, this helped reduce Russia’s dominance in the Black Sea and restore the grain corridor.
