Ukraine's missile raid is understood to have severely damaged one of the three stationary production platforms on the Odesskoye gas field, identified as BK-1, and inflicted minor damage to two other production installations nearby, BK-2 and BK-3.Ĭaspian Pipeline Consortium reduces tanker traffic to allow seabed mine survey Speaking from Kiev late Monday, adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Alexei Arestovich did not disclose details of the attack but he said that the platforms, formerly operated by Ukraine’s state Chernomorneftegaz, were seized by Russia after the country had annexed the Crimea Peninsula in 2014 and had been used to bolster Russian control of air and sea in the region. In the wake of Monday's missile strikes, the Russian-backed head of occupied Crimea Sergey Aksyonov reported at least seven people missing and three injured. Ukraine authorities have accused Russia of using at least three Black Sea gas production platforms to host air defence and radar units as Kiev sought to justify missile strikes against three facilities, located south of Odessa. ![]()
