The Ukrainian militants attempted to seize a Russian drilling rig in the Black Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on September 11.
“The Black Sea Fleet forces thwarted an operation to seize a Russian drilling rig in the Black Sea by the Ukrainian Navy,” the ministry said.
On the night of September 11, the Kiev regime attempted to seize the Russian jack-up drilling rig Crimea-2 in the waters of the Black Sea.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian military intelligence sent a marine landing force of 14 US Willard Sea Force boats to seize the rig.
During the battle, the Black Sea Fleet and Russian forces sank eight sea boats and killed up to eighty Ukrainian military personnel.
Another six Ukrainian gunboats retreated without even attempting to retrieve the wounded Ukrainian servicemen who remained in the water.
