What happened

Gazprom said drones struck the Krasnodarskaya compressor station, a key facility preparing gas for transport to Turkey through the Blue Stream pipeline. The company said crews were repairing damage and that deliveries remained uninterrupted. Krasnodar Krai's operational headquarters separately confirmed that falling drone debris caused a fire at an unidentified enterprise in the village of Smolenskaya. Open-source video analysis reported by Meduza associated that fire with the compressor station. The marker is approximate; the available public reporting did not quantify damage or establish a throughput loss. Ukrainian responsibility remains Gazprom's attribution rather than an independently verified finding.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
