Ukraine Claims Attack on Hub for Major Russian Oil Pipelines

Ukraine claimed a strike on an important hub for Russia’s network of crude-exporting pipelines, though flows from the system to Europe seem to remain uninterrupted for now.

The attack on an oil-pumping station in Unecha caused damage and a large-scale fire in the area of ​​the facility in Russia’s Bryansk region, near the border with Ukraine and Belarus, the General Staff in Kyiv said in a Facebook post. Explosions were heard in the storage area and where the main and support pumps are located, according to the statement.
