Ukraine’s military intelligence authorities have said that Kyiv’s forces have regained control from Russia of several offshore drilling platforms close to Crimea, Ukraine’s military intelligence said on Monday, APA reports citing Al Jazeera.

In a statement on the Telegram messaging app, authorities said the drilling platforms known as the “Boiko Towers” were recaptured in a “unique operation”.

“Russia occupied them [Boiko Towers] in 2015, and with the beginning of the full-scale invasion, used them for military purposes. In particular, as helipads and for placing radar equipment,” intelligence authorities added.
