Russian Authorities Quell Fires at Southern Oil Pipeline
Russian authorities have put out fires at an oil pipeline in the southern region of Rostov sparked by a Ukrainian drone attack, a regional official said on Tuesday, with no injuries. Apart from the fires, the overnight drone attacks on industrial sites led to no other reports of damage, Yuri Slyusar, the region's acting governor, said, without identifying the damaged pipeline. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and workers had been evacuated from various sites in the area, just over the Ukraine border.
