Russia claims explosive devices found at Druzhba oil pipeline

Russian oil company Transneft claimed on Wednesday that multiple explosive devices were found at the Druzhba oil pipeline in the western Bryansk region.

Two explosives were discovered last evening and one this afternoon at the Novozybkov oil pumping station, company spokesman Igor Demin told Russian TASS news agency.

According to him, the devices were dropped from drones, causing destruction of non-industrial plastic production facilities.

Demin added that the warhead of the explosives -- metal balls -- shows the intention to kill people rather than destroy the oil pumping station.
