Ukraine Hits Key Russian Fuel Pipeline Supplying Military
Ukraine's military intelligence agency says they successfully attacked a very important fuel pipeline in Russia's Moscow area.
This pipeline is used to bring gas, diesel, and jet fuel to the Russian army.
Ukraine's spies called this a big hit to how the Russian military gets its fuel.
The attack happened late Friday, and Ukraine says all the fuel lines in that spot were destroyed.
This pipeline can move a lot of fuel every year.
This action is part of a bigger fight where both Russia and Ukraine are trying to mess with each other's supplies.
Ukraine's leader said their attacks are having more of an effect than international sanctions.
Meanwhile, Russia has continued its own attacks on Ukraine's energy systems, causing power issues there.
Ukraine's military intelligence claims to have struck a major fuel pipeline in Russia's Moscow region.
The Koltsevoy pipeline, targeted late Friday, supplies fuel to the Russian army.
Ukraine stated all three fuel lines were destroyed, calling it a 'serious blow' to Russian military logistics.
The pipeline has a large annual capacity for transporting jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline.
The strike occurs amid ongoing Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
