During a massive Russian air attack on the morning of April 11, two underground gas storage facilities in Ukraine came under attack.
“The storage facilities continue to operate. Now specialists are engaged in eliminating the consequences of the shelling,” the message says.
As the press service noted, fortunately the employees were not injured.
April 11 attack
Let us recall that on the night of April 11, the Russians launched a massive air strike on Ukraine using cruise, ballistic and aeroballistic missiles (“Dagger”), as well as kamikaze drones.
Russian troops used more than 80 drones and missiles. The main impact of drones fell on the Lviv region. Air defense forces destroyed 57 air targets.
Attacks on underground gas storage facilities
Let us remind you that the head of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine, Alexey Chernyshov, said that during a missile attack on the morning of March 24, Naftogaz facilities in western Ukraine were damaged.
General Director of gas storage operator Ukrtransgaz Roman Malyutin said that the damage does not affect the possibility of pumping gas into underground storage facilities.
The company has time to repair the damaged facility “as the damaged equipment is only needed to support peak gas production starting next January,” he said. “Our goal is to complete the renovation as quickly as possible.”
