Ukrainian drones hit Druzhba oil pipeline station in Russia's Bryansk region

Ukrainian drones struck a pumping station of the Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia's Bryansk region, the commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi (callsign Madyar) said, sharing video of the attack.

The targeted facility was the Unecha line production-dispatching station, the largest node in the Druzhba network operated by Transnefteprodukt and used to supply Russia’s defense industry.

A previous strike on the same station was carried out overnight on Aug. 13 by Ukrainian intelligence. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said then that Budapest temporarily stopped receiving Russian oil, but flows were later restored.
