Strike on oil rigs on the Caspian by which Russia ships mostly refined product to western Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and the Teheran market
Ukrainian forces struck two drilling platforms in the northern Caspian Sea overnight on April 10 as part of efforts to reduce Russia's military and economic capacity, targeting the ice-resistant stationary platforms at the V. Graifer and Yuri Korchagin fields.
SOF drones hit ice-resistant platforms at the Grayfer field (formerly the Rakushechnoye field) and at the Korchagin field in the northern part of the sea, about 1,000 kilometers from the front line. The enemy uses these platforms as part of the fuel supply chain for its army.
