Ukraine Blows Up Druzhba Pump Station After Restoring Druzhba Oil Deliveries to Hungary

In very short order after Kyiv restored oil deliveries to Russian-oil-dependent Slovakia and Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline, Ukrainian drones on Thursday attacked a key node of the Druzhba oil transportation network upstream in Russia and set it on fire.

Fires ignited by the Ukrainian air strike threatened the Druzhba system’s just-restored return to full capacity for deliveries to downstream customers, but by midday on Thursday the degree of damage caused by effective hits to a key Druzhba pumping facility near the Russian city Nizhny Novgorod was not clear.
