Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SSO or SOF) struck Russia’s Olya port in Astrakhan Oblast on 14 August, targeting a vessel reportedly carrying Iranian Shahed drone parts and ammunition. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said the attack was part of efforts to weaken Russia’s ability to carry out airstrikes. Results of the strike are still being assessed.

Olya is a Russian sea port in Astrakhan Oblast, located in the Volga Delta on the right bank of the Bakhtemir River. The port has served as a link for transporting Iranian-made military goods, including Shahed-series drones and ammunition, across the Caspian Sea into Russia. Russia uses its Shaheds, both supplies from Iran and produced domestically, to arrack Ukrainian cities every day.

Ukrainian strike targets Russian military shipments from Iran

According to the General Staff, the Olya port facility is used by Russia as an important logistics hub for receiving military goods from Iran.

The targeted vessel, identified as Port Olya 4, was reportedly loaded with Shahed-type drone components and ammunition.

The operation was conducted by Ukraine’s SOF in cooperation with other branches of the Defense Forces. The military said the goal was to disrupt Russian logistics and degrade its capacity for sustained aerial attacks.

Special forces operation, not long-range drone strike

The mention of Special Operations Forces in the General Staff’s report indicates the strike was not carried out with long-range drones. It may have been a sabotage mission, unless the SOF has begun operating long-range aerial drones like those used by the Unmanned Systems Forces, the HUR intelligence agency, or the SBU security service.

No visual evidence from the area has yet emerged, and Euromaidan Press said it could not independently verify the report.
