The platforms had already been attacked in December 2025 by special units of the Ukrainian Security Service, which would have led to the interruption of operations. According to Ukrainian authorities, the new attacks seek to make repairs more difficult, increase losses and extend the time needed to resume activities.
In addition to the actions in the Caspian Sea, Ukraine also announced the destruction of a Buk-M3 anti-aircraft system launcher in the Luhansk region and Russian military supplies in Kherson. The operations are part of a strategy to weaken the logistics and combat capacity of Russian forces on different fronts of the conflict.
