"On January 11, 2025, the Kiev regime, in order to stop gas supplies to European countries, attempted an attack using nine aircraft-type UAVs on the infrastructure of the Russkaya compressor station in the locality of Gai-Kodzor (Krasnodar region), which provides gas supply through the Turkish Stream pipeline," the ministry said in a statement.

Air defense units repelled the attack, shooting down all the drones. The station's personnel were not injured, and destruction was also avoided.
