Operators of the 73rd Naval Center of the Special Operations Forces conducted a Citadel special operation in the Black Sea. During the night, the operation destroyed a radar station and Russian equipment on one of the production platforms off the coast of temporarily occupied Crimea. This equipment helped the enemy conduct reconnaissance and attack southern Ukraine with drones.

The SOF released the video on their official social media pages. The military reported that Ukrainian intelligence had learned that the Russians were using one of the illegally seized oil platforms in the Black Sea to enhance the operation of an Iranian-made Mohajer-6 UAV by installing equipment that increases its range and radius of operation.
