Gas supply was cut off in the Druzhkivka community in Donetsk Oblast as a result of Russian shelling on June 1, 2026. A total of 17,368 customers in the city and surrounding settlements were left without gas. The outage was caused by systematic strikes on the region’s infrastructure.
This was reported with reference to Donetskoblgaz.
"According to information from the dispatcher of the Linear Production Department of Main Gas Pipelines, today, June 1, 2026, the inlet and outlet valves at the Druzhkivka gas distribution station were shut off," the statement reads.
