A Russian first-person-view (FPV) drone deliberately attacked a vehicle belonging to the Gas Networks service in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, according to a report from Ukrinform. The service is part of the Naftogaz Group, Ukraine's state-owned energy company.
The report described the strike as a deliberate attack on the utility vehicle, though further details on casualties, the exact location, or the extent of damage were not included in the available material.
Attacks on energy infrastructure and utility workers have been a recurring feature of the war in Ukraine, with gas, electricity and heating systems repeatedly targeted, particularly in regions near the front line such as Kharkiv.
Naftogaz and its subsidiary services, including gas distribution networks, have previously reported damage to vehicles and infrastructure as a result of strikes in frontline and border regions. The latest incident adds to the toll on utility workers operating in areas exposed to Russian drone and missile attacks.
