The analyst reported that all three platforms were attacked east of Zmiinyi Island. Pictures taken on August 24 show the middle platform on fire and a column of smoke rising from the third platform.
We will remind that in September 2023, Ukraine returned to control the drilling platforms that Russia seized in 2014 and used for military purposes, in particular, as helipads and for the placement of radar equipment.
