In a bold and strategic move, Ukrainian forces orchestrated a precision strike on a critical component of Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure. Kamikaze drones, under the command of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, targeted the Transneft Druzhba oil pipeline pumping station located in the town of Unecha within Russia’s Bryansk Oblast on the night of August 12-13.
Insider Insight: Information obtained from a trusted source within the Ukrainian intelligence community revealed that the operation was a collaborative effort between Defence Intelligence units and other branches of the Ukrainian armed forces. Reports from local Telegram channels described a series of explosions resonating in Unecha and its vicinity that fateful night. Subsequently, a significant fire engulfed the Unecha oil pumping station, prompting the swift deployment of emergency response teams.
As a crucial node in the Druzhba oil pipeline system, the Unecha oil terminal plays a pivotal role in supplying the Russian defense industry. This facility, under the ownership of the Transnefteproduct holding company, functions as a vital conduit for transporting oil across an extensive pipeline network spanning approximately 9,000 kilometers.
