This information was reported by Interfax-Ukraine citing sources in the SBU.
"Last night, the SBU and SSO carried out a joint special operation targeting the NPS 'Andreepol', which is a crucial component of the Baltic Pipeline System-2," said a source from the agency.
According to him, as a result of the drone attack on the station, the filtration pumping platform was damaged, tanks with additives were affected, leading to a spill of petroleum products and a fire.
"The Russians even had to halt the main pipeline through which oil is supplied to the 'Ust-Luga' terminal in the Leningrad region," he added.
Another target for the SBU and SSO, according to the source in the security service, was the 23rd missile arsenal of the Russian Ministry of Defense located in the Tver region. Drones hit the warehouse itself and three buildings of the military unit.
Local residents reported hearing over 20 explosions and discussed the evacuation of the population in chat groups, the source stated.
