Gazprom has reported drone strikes on the TurkStream pipeline infrastructure in Krasnodar Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kiev has been deliberately attacking the infrastructure of the TurkStream gas pipeline in an attempt to halt deliveries to European consumers, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The statement comes after pipeline operator Gazprom reported on\u00a0Wednesday\u00a0that the Russkaya compressor station in southern Krasnodar Region, which serves as the starting point for supplies through the TurkStream, came under attack overnight.<\/p>\n

The company said the Beregovaya and Kazachya compressor stations were also targeted the day before, adding that its facilities in southern Russia were attacked 12 times in the past two weeks.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Defense Ministry confirmed the attacks, saying: \u201cthe Kiev regime, in order to stop gas supplies to European consumers, launched another attack using strike aircraft-type UAVs on the infrastructure of the Russkaya compressor station.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The ministry stated that four Ukrainian drones were shot down by Russian air defense systems in the airspace adjacent to the station, two more were intercepted by fighter aircraft, and three were destroyed by mobile fire teams.<\/p>\n

The TurkStream transports Russian gas to T\u00fcrkiye via the Black Sea, with one line dedicated to the Turkish market and another supplying countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Last month, President Vladimir Putin said Russia has become aware of plans to attack the TurkStream and Blue Stream trans-Black sea gas pipelines, adding that the goal is to jeopardize the peace process to end the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Putin did not publicly attribute the alleged plot to a specific party, saying it would be discussed behind closed doors with the Federal Security Service (FSB) board.<\/p>\n

In October, FSB chief Aleksandr Bortnikov warned that Ukraine and the UK were jointly preparing an attack on TurkStream.<\/p>\n

Gas and oil infrastructure in the Black Sea has repeatedly come under Ukrainian attacks amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The attacks involved long-range drone strikes against various facilities ashore, as well as repeated attempts to target Russian naval vessels patrolling the pipelines with sea drones.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to the attack, saying it highlights the \u201ctrue nature and essence of the Kiev regime,\u201d<\/em> describing the strikes as \u201cespecially irresponsible against the backdrop of a global energy crisis that is brewing day by day.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
