Kiev's forces have targeted a metering station in the Kursk Region,
The Ukrainian troops have attacked a pipeline in western Russia that was previously used to deliver gas to the EU, Telegram news channels have claimed.
According to the news channels Mash and Baza, Kiev's forces damaged the Sudzha gas metering station in the Kursk Region overnight on Friday.
Videos circulating online show a large fire at the facility. It is unclear whether the station was hit by a kamikaze drone or artillery. The authorities have not commented on the reported incident.
Ukraine invaded parts of the Kursk Region in early August, capturing the town of Sudzha and dozens of villages. The Russian troops liberated Sudzha and its surroundings earlier this month.
Some Russian military bloggers suggested that the Ukrainians may have rigged the gas equipment with explosives before retreating.
