The Armed Forces of Ukraine struck two Russian drilling platforms in the Caspian Sea that were supplying fuel to the occupying forces.
This was reported by the General Staff of Ukraine.
Details of the operation in the Caspian Sea
According to the military, on the night of April 10, units of Ukraine’s Defense Forces attacked facilities on the continental shelf of the Caspian Sea.
The operation was carried out as part of a strategy to reduce the military-economic potential of the Russian Federation. Preliminary reports indicate that the targets included ice-resistant stationary platforms (LSP-2) at the V. Grayfer field and LSP-1 at the Yuri Korchagin field.
These facilities are located in the northern part of the Caspian Sea, nearly 1,000 kilometers from the front line. The platforms are an important link in supplying fuel and lubricants to the aggressor’s army.
The military command emphasized that such strikes will continue.
“The Defense Forces of Ukraine will continue to strike important enemy targets until the complete cessation of the Russian Federation’s armed aggression against Ukraine,” the General Staff stated.
Strikes on Russian oil infrastructure
As a reminder, Ukrainian forces systematically attack facilities that support the aggressor’s military-economic potential. On April 9, the General Staff confirmed a strike on the “Krymska” oil pumping station.
Earlier, on April 3, Ukrainian forces attacked the “Bashneft-Novoil” oil refinery in Ufa, located 1,400 kilometers from the border.
This is also not the first attack on facilities in the Caspian Sea. In January of this year, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck Lukoil drilling platforms. In December 2025, a series of strikes on oil production in the region were carried out by SBU drones.
