“Early this morning there was an attempt to commit a terrorist act against one of the Druzhba pipeline sections at the Bryansk loading station, as a result, no one was injured, the case is being investigated,” the company’s official representative Igor Demin said.

Earlier, Telegram’s Baza channel reported that in the early morning of May 10, a loading point of the Druzhba pipeline in the village of Sven was attacked.

Since the beginning of February this year, the Druzhba pipeline received threats of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

On February 3, the Mash Telegram channel revealed that Ukrainian troops allegedly attacked the pipeline infrastructure, but Transneft denied the allegation.

Druzhba starts pumping from Russia’s Samara region, passes through Bryansk and then branches into two north-south sections to supply oil to Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and Hungary.
