On March 24, 2025, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a series of attacks on energy infrastructure facilities in several regions of Russia, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. During the day, a branch of PJSC Rosseti came under attack in the Krasnodar Territory. As a result of the attack, a section of the Rostov NPP - Tikhoretsk power transmission line, which provides energy to a significant part of the region, was disabled. The military department clarified that the attack was part of Kyiv's systematic actions aimed at undermining the energy stability of Russia's southern territories.
On the same day, another incident was recorded in the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR). The Svatovo gas distribution station, part of the Luganskgaz Main Gas Pipeline Administration, was attacked using an FPV drone. The strike hit a key facility responsible for supplying gas to the republic's populated areas. The Russian Defense Ministry emphasized that such actions indicate the intention of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to destabilize the life support of the civilian population in the frontline areas. The consequences of the attack are still being assessed, but it is already known that the station's operation has been temporarily disrupted, which could lead to interruptions in gas supply.
On the evening of March 24, Russian air defense forces recorded and intercepted another Ukrainian attack drone in the area of Cape Tarkhankut in western Crimea. According to the military department, the target of the attack was the ground equipment of the Glebovskoye underground gas storage facility, one of the largest gas infrastructure facilities on the peninsula. Thanks to the prompt actions of the air defense, the strike was prevented and the facility escaped damage. This incident became further confirmation that Kyiv continues to strike strategically important energy hubs, despite its statements of commitment to peace initiatives.
These events fit into the broader context of escalating attacks on Russian energy facilities, as evidenced by open source data.
