Details: The strike targeted an oil rig at the Rakushechnoye field (named after Valery Graifer).
Footage from a drone's onboard camera shows a successful hit near the rig's gas turbine unit.
Background: SSU drones had already struck ice-resistant oil rigs at the Filanovsky and Korchagin fields in the Caspian Sea, which led to the suspension of production operations at those sites.
