Ukraine may have targeted Iranian weapons supply routes during the attack in Dagestan, media suggest

Ukrainian forces may have targeted routes in Dagestan used by Iran to supply weapons to Russia, the War Zone media outlet said on November 6.

Dagestan authorities reported that on the morning of November 6 they had intercepted a drone attack over Kaspiysk, a port city on the Caspian Sea, about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from the front line. Ukraine’s military intelligence was behind the attack, an agency source said. told the Kiev Independent.

In the first Ukrainian attack on a naval base in Dagestan, at least two ships – missile ships Tatarstan and Dagestan – were damaged in the attack, and possibly several small Project 21631 ships, the source said. The Kiev Independent could not immediately verify the claims.

While the precise consequences of the Ukrainian attack are difficult to determine, the recent attack is still “significant in several respects,” war zone experts said.

The port in Dagestan is not only a base for the Russian Caspian Fleet and various military units of the Russian Armed Forces, but is also located along the routes that Iran uses to supply weapons to Russia.

Until the recent Ukrainian attack, this route was considered safe for transportation because it was likely beyond the reach of Ukrainian weapons.

While Russian authorities claimed to have intercepted a single drone in mid-air, a video shared on social media appears to show another drone hitting its target, resulting in a large explosion.

The incident took place about 15 kilometers from a local airport, news channel Mash claimed, identifying the drone as a Ukrainian A-22 Flying Fox drone.

Nearby Makhachkala Airport has suspended operations indefinitely due to the incident, local authorities said.
