Gazprom Reports Multiple Attacks on Key Gas Pipeline Facilities Repelled
In a Telegram statement, the company said the Russkaya pumping station in southern Russia was targeted by an air strike, while the day prior, attacks were recorded at the Beregovaya and Kazachya stations.
"In total, over the past two weeks, starting Feb. 24, Gazprom facilities in southern Russia have been attacked 12 times. These facilities are part of the critically important energy infrastructure and ensure the reliability of export gas supplies via the TurkStream and Blue Stream gas pipelines," the statement read, according to reports.
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the strikes, noting that the apparent aim was to disrupt gas deliveries to European consumers.
Separately, reports highlight that on Jan. 27, Ukraine halted energy shipments via the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia, prompting Budapest to suspend a 90 million euro credit to Ukraine. Currently, Hungary continues to receive Russian gas through TurkStream and supply it onward to Slovakia.
The incidents coincide with Tehran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime route transporting roughly 20% of global oil from the Persian Gulf, which has been ongoing for the past 10 days amid US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
