A massive fire engulfed the Sudzha gas metering station in Russia’s Kursk region, with footage from the Russian Defence Ministry capturing flames lighting up the night sky. Moscow has blamed Ukraine for the attack, alleging that HIMARS rocket systems and drones triggered the blaze. The strike threatens a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire on energy infrastructure attacks, a deal that Russia warned could collapse with another assault. The Russian Defence Ministry reported the attack occurred at 10:20 a.m. local time, stating that the station—once a key gas transit hub to Europe—was severely damaged. The Kremlin insists it has honored the ceasefire, forged through recent U.S. negotiations, including a historic Putin-Trump call. However, both Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of violating the truce, with Kyiv denying responsibility and claiming Moscow staged the attack while simultaneously striking Ukrainian gas facilities.
