Ukraine reportedly conducts one of most distant sabotage operations, targeting Russian military infrastructure near Vladivostok

Russia tries to conceal a deep rear explosion near Vladivostok, located near North Korea and Japan. In the early hours of 5 July, a powerful explosion rocked a major gas pipeline near Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East, according to sources in Ukraine’s military intelligence cited by UNIAN.

The sabotage operation is considered the most distant ever from Ukrainian territory. The distance from Kyiv to Vladivostok is approximately 7,400 km, far beyond any previously known Ukrainian strikes inside Russia.

“Branches of the ‘Vladivostok’ gas pipeline running along the Sea of Japan coastline were destroyed,” the sources say.

The pipeline supplied gas to several Russian military facilities, including units of the 155th Marine Brigade of Russia’s Pacific Fleet. Intelligence also reported the destruction of a water pipeline that supplied drinking water to military garrisons.

Explosions occurred between 1 and 2 a.m., sparking a large fire. Emergency services and special units were dispatched to the scene.

To prevent panic during Vladivostok’s 165th anniversary celebrations, mobile internet and communications were shut down in the Lazurnaya Bay (Shamora) area.

Earlier, a powerful explosion occurred in the engine room of the Vilamoura tanker, while it was en route from the Libyan port of Es-Zuwaytina. The vessel was located about 150 km northeast of Libya’s territorial waters and was carrying approximately 1 million barrels of crude oil.
