Russian energy facilities targeted by Ukraine despite moratorium, says Defense Ministry

Investing.com -- Russia’s Defense Ministry has accused Ukraine of attacking Russian energy facilities in the past day. This comes despite a previously agreed moratorium on strikes against each other’s energy infrastructure.

The Ministry reported that a transformer substation located in the Bryansk region was targeted in the attack. Furthermore, the military officials claim to have intercepted a drone that was aiming for the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility. This facility is situated in Crimea, a region that Russia incorporated into its territory from Ukraine in 2014.

The allegations of these attacks indicate a breach in the agreement to refrain from targeting energy facilities, a crucial aspect of the infrastructure for both nations. The Defense Ministry did not provide additional details on the nature of the attacks or any potential damage caused.
