Drone attacks target Russian oil pipeline installations in Ukraine and Russia.

Ukraine reportedly launched drone attacks on oil pipeline installations deep inside Russia, including a station serving the Druzhba oil pipeline that sends Western Siberian crude to Europe. The attacks come amid growing intensity of Ukrainian drone attacks inside Russia, with the US intelligence believing Ukraine was behind a drone attack on the Kremlin earlier this month. The Druzhba pipeline has been severely under-utilised after Europe sought to reduce its dependency on Russian energy after President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine last year.
