Today, in the Vladivostok area, a Russian main gas pipeline exploded, and a water pipeline was also destroyed. These facilities supplied the 155th Brigade of the Russian army, RBC-Ukraine reports, referring to sources in Ukraine's Defense Intelligence.
In particular, in the Russian Far East, as a result of an explosion and subsequent fire, branches of the Vladivostok main gas pipeline running along the coast of the Sea of Japan were destroyed.
According to sources in Ukrainian Intelligence, the gas pipeline supplies gas to a number of Russian military facilities located along the coast of the Sea of Japan. This refers to separate units of the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces.
The part of this gas pipeline was commissioned in March 2025.
In addition, today, by means of an explosion, the water pipeline supplying drinking water to military garrisons was destroyed.
According to the source, the explosions occurred around 1–2 a.m. on July 5. After that, a large fire broke out, and later Russian security services and repair teams arrived at the scene.
To conceal information from the local population, given the celebration of the 165th anniversary of the founding of the city of Vladivostok, local security services shut down mobile internet and communications in the Lazurnaya Bay (Shamora) area.
