Ukraine announced on Saturday that it struck a Russian oil platform in the Caspian Sea using drones, according to an N12 report. The statement did not specify the exact location of the rig, the extent of damage, or casualties. If confirmed, the attack would mark a significant expansion of Ukraine's campaign against Russian energy infrastructure, targeting a resource in the Caspian Sea rather than the Black Sea where previous strikes have focused. The Zioneer has previously reported on Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil depots in southern Russia and on tankers in the Black Sea, as part of a broader effort to disrupt Russian energy exports.
