Russia on Monday accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on infrastructure of the TurkStream gas pipeline, which carries Russian gas to Europe via Türkiye. “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 defence ministry said in a statement. It said all the drones were shot down, with the falling debris causing “minor damage” to a building and equipment at a gas measuring station.
