Russia on Monday accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on infrastructure of the TurkStream gas pipeline, which carries Russian gas to Europe via Turkey, Agence France-Presse reported.
“On January 11, the Kyiv regime, in order to cut off gas supplies to European countries, attempted an attack with nine drones,” on a gas compressor station in southern Russia that supplies the TurkStream pipeline, Moscow’s defense ministry said in a statement. It said all the drones were shot down, with the falling debris causing minor damage.
