The Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) attacked the territory of the Novozybkov oil pumping station (NPS) of the Druzhba oil pipeline using a drone, Governor of the Bryansk Region Alexander Bogomaz said in his Telegram channel.

For safety, electricity has been temporarily turned off in the settlements of Mamai, Trostan, Druzhba, Novskoye and Dubrovka. After carrying out operational and investigative measures, power supply will be resumed, Bogomaz said.

This is not the first attempt to attack the Druzhba oil pipeline, which carries fuel from Russia to Europe. As Parlamentskaya Gazeta wrote, on March 15, explosive devices were found at the Novozybkov PS. Presumably they were dropped from a drone.
