Drones attacked a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea

Long-range drones of the SBU’s Alpha Special Operations Center hit the Filanovsky oil platform.

This was reported by Ukrinform, citing a source in the SBU.

The platform belongs to Lukoil-Nizhnevolzhskneft. This is the first strike by Ukraine on Russian infrastructure related to oil production in the Caspian Sea.

According to the publication’s source, at least four hits were recorded on the offshore platform. As a result of the attack, oil and gas production from more than 20 wells it serves stopped.

The Filanovsky field is one of the largest explored in the Russian Federation and in the Russian sector of the Caspian Sea. Its reserves amount to 129 million tons of oil and 30 billion cubic meters of gas. The extracted products were sent for export through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC).

“The SBU continues successful special operations against the Russian oil and gas sector, constantly expanding their geography. “Cotton” in the Caspian Sea is another reminder to the Russian Federation that all its enterprises working for war are legitimate targets. Wherever they are,” the SBU emphasized.

Earlier, USM reported that details had emerged about the latest attack on a tanker of the Russian “shadow fleet.”
