Damage has been inflicted on the ground infrastructure of an underground gas storage facility in Ukraine. This was announced by the head of the Ukrainian state company for oil and natural gas extraction, transportation, and processing, Naftogaz, Alexei Chernyshov, on social media.
“Incident on the ground infrastructure of one of the gas storage facilities of Ukrtransgaz,” he wrote.
According to the information provided by the head of Naftogaz, the destruction has been identified in the technological equipment. Currently, efforts are underway to eliminate the damage, with no critical consequences for the operation of the facility.
“What happened will not affect the supply of natural gas to Ukrainian consumers,” Chernyshov concluded.
Russian military forces have been launching strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure since October 2022, shortly after the explosion on the Crimean Bridge. Since then, air alerts have been regularly declared in various regions of Ukraine, often across the entire country. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the attacks are targeting objects in the energy sector, defense industry, military command, and communications.
Earlier, Ukrainian authorities reported damage to port infrastructure in the Odessa region.
