Russian drone attacks damaged a Ukrainian gas compressor station in Odesa, disrupting the newly operational Trans-Balkan gas corridor designed to reduce Ukraine's energy dependence. The attack, targeting infrastructure that imports gas from Greece, damaged the Orlivka station, part of the route transporting American and Azerbaijani gas. Ukrainian officials condemned the attack, highlighting Russia's efforts to undermine European energy independence. While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, the incident underscores the ongoing vulnerability of Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
