Defense forces strike two drilling rigs in Caspian Sea
On the night of April 10, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck two drilling platforms on the Caspian Sea shelf.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
According to preliminary information, the targets were the ice-resistant stationary platform (LSP-2) on the drilling platform at the V. Graifer field (formerly known as Rakushechne) and the ice-resistant stationary platform (LSP-1) on the drilling platform at the Yuri Korchagin field.
The drilling platforms are located in the northern Caspian Sea, nearly a thousand kilometers from the front line, and play a crucial role in supplying fuel and lubricants to the Russian Armed Forces.
As reported by Ukrinform, pilots from the 9th “Kairos” Battalion, part of the 414th “Birds of Magyar” Separate Brigade, struck the “Marine Oil Terminal” oil storage facility in the temporarily occupied city of Feodosia, which supplied fuel and lubricants to the Russians. Three tanks caught fire at the oil depot.
The fire at the oil depot in Feodosia has been burning for three days now.
