Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed long-range drone strikes successfully hit Russian military and cargo vessels in the Caspian Sea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Saturday that Ukrainian forces executed long-range strikes against Russian vessels in the Caspian Sea.

According to statements posted by Zelensky on social media, the operation targeted a Russian warship as well as cargo ships allegedly transporting Iranian-linked military supplies. The strikes were reportedly carried out using long-range kamikaze drones, marking a notable geographic extension of Kyiv's deep-strike capabilities into a crucial maritime corridor for Moscow's military logistics.

Independent verification of the claims remains pending, and Russian authorities have not publicly commented on the alleged Caspian Sea operation or the extent of any resulting damage.
