| Russia pounds Ukrainian port while key Russian gas pipe in Kursk explodes in huge 300ft fireball |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Putin's forces pounded a Ukrainian port with several waves of drones in an overnight attack while a critical Russian gas pipeline blew up into a 300ft fireball. Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa suffered its worst onslaught of the war as Russia carpet bombed the city with drone attacks overnight, injuring at least three people. The massive blitz set residential properties, a shopping centre, and stores ablaze and caused power outages in the Primorsky, Peresypsky and Kievsky districts. Ukraine today claimed Putin's army triggered the biggest inferno of the war by exploding its own gas facility in a dirty tricks operation to blame Kyiv. Towering flames at least 300ft high shot in the air at Sudzha gas pipeline metering hub in the Kursk region early Friday. The explosion was initially seen as a Ukrainian strike during a night of hell which saw Russia attack Odesa city - but Kyiv insisted the gas explosion and giant flames were the result of artillery fire by the Kremlin's own forces. Sudzha in Russia's Kursk region was under Ukrainian control until an advance by Putin's forces in recent days. Today's giant explosion came as both sides have signalled their agreement to end strikes on energy facilities. |
