It is noted that the drilling platforms "Petro Hodovanets" and "Ukraine," as well as the self-propelled drilling rigs "Tavrida" and "Sivash," were returned under Ukrainian control. The operation to establish control over the "Boyka Towers" was carried out by units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.

"During the operation, special forces managed to capture valuable trophies: a supply of unguided aviation rockets (NAR) and the 'Neva' radar system, which can track the movement of vessels in the Black Sea," the statement emphasizes.
