Video Fact.

On the night of April 6, the Ukrainian Navy successfully attacked the Sivash drilling rig in the Black Sea, which was being used by the Russian Armed Forces. The strike was supposedly carried out by RBS-15 missiles.

The images of the attack were published in the official account of the Ukrainian Navy. The target of the attack was Russian Armed Forces units stationed on the rig.

The strike, as the Navy noted, "significantly weakened Russia's position" in the Black Sea.

"The enemy used the platform as a base for deploying equipment for tracking and relaying communications, REB and short-range air defense. This gave him the opportunity to detect the movement of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the direction of Crimea, which created a 'buffer zone' to protect the peninsula and the BSF ships," the Navy said.
