**Ukraine Strikes Russian Gas Platforms in Black Sea**
The Ukrainian Navy used drones to attack Russian-occupied gas platforms near the Crimean coast. The strike targeted Russian observation systems, according to naval commanders.
This is important for Ukraine because these platforms help Russia gather intelligence on Ukrainian military movements. By destroying these systems, Ukraine makes it harder for Russia to track and target its military assets.
The operation was confirmed by Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizphapa, commander of the Ukrainian Naval Forces. He said that Ukraine will continue to hunt Russian forces in the Black Sea and eventually reach them everywhere.
**Timing Not Disclosed**
The timing of the attack is not clear. This comes after reports of explosions in the Kerch area earlier this month. Russia claimed to have destroyed two marine drones near Crimea, but this could not be verified.
**Part of Larger Strategy**
This attack appears to be part of Ukraine’s broader strategy of targeting Russian infrastructure in occupied territories. The focus is on strategic observation points in the Black Sea area.
