Ukraine: Russian Troops Blow Up Gas Pipeline in Kharkiv
MOSCOW (Reuters) — Russian troops have blown up a natural gas pipeline in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Ukraine's state service of special communications and information protection said on Sunday.
A mushroom-shaped explosion was shown in a video it posted on the Telegram messaging app.
It was not immediately clear how important the pipeline was and whether the blast could disrupt gas shipments outside the city or the country. Despite the war, Ukraine continues to ship Russian natural gas to Europe.
Kremlin-controlled energy giant Gazprom said on Sunday that Russian gas exports via Ukraine to Europe continued normally, in line with requests from customers.
It said requests for gas via the route stand at 107.5 million cubic metres as of Sunday.
Ukraine's interior ministry had warned on Friday that Russian troops could target natural gas transit pipelines from Russia to Europe.
