Overview

• Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces chief Robert Brovdi said drones struck the Unecha facility in Russia’s Bryansk region, with video showing large fires and local officials citing a combined drone and HIMARS attack.
• Budapest and Bratislava warned pipeline deliveries could be suspended for at least five days and wrote to the European Commission asking it to protect energy supplies.
• The Unecha hit marked the second Druzhba disruption this week after flows were briefly restored earlier, according to officials and pipeline operators.
• The European Commission acknowledged the complaint and noted both countries hold mandated emergency oil stocks, saying overall EU supply security remains intact for now.
• Kyiv’s broader campaign against Russian energy sites has intensified this month, contributing to fuel shortages and higher petrol prices in Russia, while Hungary publicized a note from President Trump saying he was “very angry” about the pipeline disruption.
