Russian forces have struck a Ukrainian army gas processing facility in the Kharkov region, according to the Russian defense ministry.
The ministry stated that the target was hit using Gerbera-4 Seeker drones and claimed radar control data confirmed the success of the strike.
The incident adds to a series of recent attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, including strikes on a gas station in the Dnipropetrovsk region and a gas distribution plant in the Chernigov region.
These repeated hits on processing and distribution nodes highlight the strategic focus on degrading Ukraine’s energy logistics.
For energy markets, the continued targeting of gas infrastructure reinforces the risk premium embedded in European natural gas prices.
While the immediate impact on global supply is limited, the pattern of attacks sustains uncertainty around Ukraine’s ability to maintain stable energy flows, particularly as winter approaches.
