This meticulously orchestrated operation involved close coordination with other army units.

The effort culminated in the expulsion of Russian troops from the stronghold and the capture of two Russian paratroopers, the SSO reported.
Following the operation, Ukrainian forces cleared the enemy position and secured full control over the stronghold, subsequently positioning certain Defense Forces units on the newly acquired heights.
SSO shared details about the special operation Citadel near the coast of the occupied Crimea on Feb. 6. 73rd Maritime Centre of the Special Forces came close to the production platform, illegally captured by Russia in the Black Sea and used for enhancing the operation of an Iranian-made Mohajer-6 (used for reconnaissance and attacks with Shahed kamikaze drones on critical infrastructure in southern Ukraine). After special operations and clearing, the facility was mined. The combat team moved to a safe distance and blew up the enemy target.
