Russia has accused Ukraine of attempting to target a key compressor station along the TurkStream pipeline, a crucial energy corridor transporting Russian natural gas to Europe via Turkey.

The Russian Defense Ministry on Saturday stated that its air defenses intercepted and neutralized three Ukrainian drones before they could reach the Russkaya station in the Krasnodar region.

"In repelling the attack, Russian air defences downed three Ukrainian drones at a safe distance from the compressor station," the ministry confirmed. It added that gas transmission through the pipeline remains unaffected.

The assault on the TurkStream pipeline, one of the last remaining Russian energy supply routes to Europe, has raised concerns in Moscow, Ankara, and Budapest.

Following the incident, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to take steps to prevent future attacks. According to Russia's foreign ministry, Fidan pledged to do so.

If confirmed, the targeting of TurkStream infrastructure could heighten tensions between Ukraine and NATO-member Turkey, which has positioned itself as a mediator in the conflict.
