In the Russian city of Unecha (Bryansk region), drones launched from Ukraine once again attacked an oil pumping station that is part of the Druzhba pipeline system, according to Robert Brovdi (Madyar), commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces.
He noted that the Unecha pumping station was struck by drones from the 14th Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
“Unecha - taken out. Repair within 48 hours,” he wrote.
Madyar also released a video showing the fire after the drone attack.
Attack on the Druzhba pipeline
On the night of August 18, in the Tambov region, the Unmanned Systems Forces attacked the Nikolskoye oil pumping station. A large-scale fire broke out in the town following the strike.
After the attack, the Druzhba main oil pipeline completely stopped pumping oil.
The Hungarian government stated that the country was allegedly left without Russian oil and threatened to halt electricity sales to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the European Commission noted that the damage to the Nikolskoe pumping station does not affect Slovakia or Hungary.
