Ukraine and Russia Exchange Energy Strikes Targeting Oil and Gas Facilities

Ukraine and Russia Exchange Energy Strikes Targeting Oil and Gas Facilities

Ukraine and Russia traded attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure overnight. Kyiv’s military intelligence said it struck a petroleum pipeline in Russia’s Moscow region used to supply fuel to the army, calling it a “serious blow” to both military and economic operations. Hours later, Russia targeted a gas production site in Ukraine’s Poltava region, sparking a fire but causing no injuries. Ukraine’s Naftogaz says Russian forces have attacked its energy sites eight times since October.
