The American site The War Zone , citing a satellite image obtained from Planet labs, showed evidence of attacks on Russia's positions on Snake Island in the western Black Sea.

Reports of these strikes first began on June 20, as well as news that the Armed Forces had struck at Russian-occupied Chornomornaftogaz platforms, which had been stolen in Ukraine in 2014.

A satellite image of Planet Labs taken on June 21, 2022, shows at least three recently darkened areas on Snake Island.

These appear to be traces of recent explosions and / or fires.

These noticeably dark spots were not seen in an earlier satellite image of the island from Planet Labs, taken shortly before noon local time on June 20.

A comparison of individual images taken on June 19 and 21 by other commercial satellites provides further evidence that these traces of damage are new.

On June 17, the Ukrainian military sank the Russian tug Vasily Bekh, which was transporting equipment and ammunition to the island.
