Ukraine struck oil pipeline installations deep inside Russia on Saturday with a series of drone attacks including on a station serving the vast Druzhba oil pipeline that sends Western Siberian crude to Europe, according to Russian media.
In the Pskov region of Western Russia, two drones caused an explosion that damaged an oil pipeline's administrative building, local Governor Mikhail Vedernikov said. The incident occurred near the village of Litvinovo, less than 10 km from Russia's border with Belarus.
"Provisionally, the building was damaged as a result of an attack by two unmanned aerial vehicles," Vedernikov said. He said there were no casualties and that an operational group that would deliver final conclusions was working at the scene. In a separate incident, a construction worker was killed near the border with Ukraine in the Kursk region due to shelling from Ukraine, the local governor said.Writing by Alexander Marrow in London and Guy Faulconbridge in Moscow Editing by Frances KerryAs Moscow bureau chief, Guy runs coverage of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
