Zelensky: Ukrainian long-range strikes hit Russian warship, vessels transporting Iran-linked cargo
Zelensky hailed a long-range operation in the Caspian Sea, claiming Ukrainian forces struck a Russian warship and vessels tied to Iran-linked military logistics.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Saturday that Ukrainian forces conducted long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea, hitting a Russian warship and vessels involved in military cargo shipments linked to Iran. Zelensky stated on X, "We also achieved very strong results with long‑range strikes in the Caspian Sea - including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran." In response, Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned a Ukrainian attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, reporting one sailor killed and another injured, describing it as an act of aggression. This incident follows a statement from former US President Donald Trump claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin assured him Russia was not selling weapons to Iran. However, US intelligence sources suspect potential Russian assistance in recent Iranian drone attacks on CIA facilities in the Gulf, citing the strikes' precision and Russia's technical support for Iran as possible evidence.
