Overview

  • Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces said they struck the Unecha pumping station in Russia’s Bryansk region, and commander Robert Brovdi shared video showing a large blaze.
  • Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz reported a combined attack using HIMARS rockets and drones that ignited an energy facility fire later brought under control.
  • Hungary and Slovakia warned deliveries could stop for at least five days following this latest hit, after a stoppage earlier in the week; Slovak operator Transpetrol confirmed an interruption.
  • The European Commission said EU security of supply remains assured and reminded that members maintain 90 days of emergency stocks, while Germany and Kazakhstan reported their Druzhba shipments were unaffected.
  • Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán publicized a letter and an apparent handwritten response from President Trump expressing anger over the strikes, and the White House has not commented.
