The Ukrainian military allegedly fired on Ukrainian drilling platforms in the Black Sea, which Russia had stolen.
Authorities in Russia-occupied Crimea say Ukrainian troops attacked Chernomorneftegaz drilling platforms stolen from Ukraine in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. The said statement on Monday, June 20, was made by the so -called leader of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov.
According to him, the strike took place around 8 am.
It is said that of the 12 people on the platforms, 5 were rescued, of which 3 were injured. The search for seven more continues.
In Ukraine, no information about such strikes has been reported.
Earlier today, information emerged in the media that around 4:30 a.m., the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a series of attacks on positions of Russian troops on the captured Zmeiny Island. There is no official confirmation about this yet.
It will be recalled that on December 16, 2015, the State Border Service announced the illegal movement of two Chernomorneftegaz drilling rigs in the Black Sea.
In early January 2016, the court seized the floating drilling rigs Piotr Godovanets and Ukraine, which were stolen by Russia.
