Russian forces repelled a drone attack early Thursday, April 2nd on part of the TurkStream gas pipeline that connects southern Russia and Turkey, according to the pipeline’s operator Gazprom.
Several European countries, including Hungary, Slovakia, and Serbia, receive gas supplies via the pipeline. Russia has accused Ukraine of attacking it multiple times, most recently in March.
Gazprom stated:
The Russkaya compressor station, which ensures the reliable export of gas via the TurkStream pipeline, came under attack from three aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles. … The attack was repelled and no damage was caused to the Gazprom facility.
Ukraine has struck Russian energy infrastructure throughout the nearly four-year war, in a bid to sap Moscow’s ability to finance its offensive.
