Russia's defence ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that Ukraine had carried out six attacks on Russian energy infrastructure over the past day, in violation of a U.S.-brokered moratorium on hitting energy infrastructure targets.

Ukraine and Russia agreed to pause strikes on each other's energy facilities last month, but both sides have repeatedly accused each other of breaking the moratorium.

In statements published on the Telegram messenger app, the ministry said that Kyiv had damaged energy infrastructure in Russia's Rostov and Kursk regions, as well as in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region.

It also said that Ukraine had mounted two failed strikes in Russia's Krasnodar region, including on a compressor station serving the TurkStream pipeline, which sends gas from Russia to Turkey via the Black Sea.

Reuters was unable to verify the battlefield reports.
