A drone attacked a substation of the Transneft-Druzhba oil pipeline in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast on the morning of March 3, the Russian Telegram channel Baza reported on March 4.
A UAV equipped with an improvised explosive device crashed into an empty tank with a capacity of 3,000 tonnes, resulting in a 1-square-meter hole.
Four people were evacuated from the substation. There were no reported injuries.
The incident occurred in the village of Razumnoye, near Belgorod, according to the Astra Telegram channel.
Several powerful explosions rocked Belgorod in early February, resulting in a fire at an oil depot and a damaged plant.
There were additional drone attacks in Belgorod later in the month, with Belgorod Mayor Valentin Demidov saying that a UAV had flown into an apartment window in the city and local authorities discovering the wreckage of three drones on Feb. 27.
