The Kremlin has sharply condemned what it described as a reckless attack by Ukraine on a gas pumping station run by Russian energy giant Gazprom. The incident is said to have been part of a network crucial for delivering gas to European markets.

According to a statement from Gazprom, two of its pumping stations were targeted overnight. However, the energy company confirmed that its security measures successfully foiled the attacks, preventing any disruptions in service.

The situation adds another layer of tension to the already strained relations between Russia and Ukraine, with potential implications for the broader regional energy supply.
