Sources in the Ukrainian Security Service told Espreso TV.

This time, a drilling rig at the Rakushechnoye field (named after Valery Grayfer) was hit.

The drone's onboard camera recorded a successful strike on the area of the platform's gas turbine unit.

SBU drones had previously struck ice-resistant oil extraction platforms at the Filanovsky and Korchagin fields in the Caspian Sea, leading to the shutdown of production processes.

"The SBU continues to systematically reduce petrodollar revenues to the Russian war budget. All facilities that finance aggression against Ukraine are absolutely legitimate targets," the SBU emphasized.
