Long-range drones of the 'Alpha' special operations center of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked the oil platform named after Filanovsky in the Caspian Sea, owned by the company 'Lukoil-Nizhnevolzhskneft'. This was the first case of striking the infrastructure of the Russian Federation for oil extraction in this region, with four hits on the platform. The result - the halt of oil and gas extraction from more than 20 wells serviced by the platform. The Filanovsky field is one of the largest in the Russian Federation and has significant oil and gas reserves. Products from this platform were exported through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium.
The Security Service of Ukraine continues special operations against the Russian oil and gas sector, expanding their geography. This is a reminder for the Russian Federation that its enterprises working for the war can become a target. - reported a source in the Security Service.
Previous drone attacks by the Security Service of Ukraine
Previously, on December 10, marine drones 'Sea Baby' of the Security Service attacked the oil tanker 'Dashan' in the Black Sea. The vessel, which belongs to the 'shadow fleet' of Russia, violated the Ukrainian economic zone and turned off its transponder. Engage!
The Security Service's drone attack on the oil extraction platform in the Caspian Sea and previous attacks on the tanker are signs of some increase in tension and the use of unconventional methods in modern conflicts. Such events may have serious consequences for relations between Ukraine and Russia.
