A major Russian gas pipeline near Vladivostok, which supplies several military facilities, has exploded.

A well-informed source in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) said this in a comment to Ukrinform.

"A branch of the Vladivostok main gas pipeline, running along the Sea of Japan coastline, was destroyed in Russia's Far East as a result of an explosion followed by a fire," the source said.

According to the source, the pipeline supplies gas to multiple Russian military facilities located along the coast, including certain units of the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

Part of the pipeline was commissioned in March 2025.

In addition, a water supply line providing drinking water to military garrisons was also destroyed in a separate blast.

The explosions occurred at around 01:00-02:00 on July 5, 2025, and triggered a large fire. Russian security services and repair crews later arrived at the scene.

To prevent the spread of information among local residents — especially amid celebrations of Vladivostok's 165th anniversary — authorities reportedly cut mobile internet and communications in the Lazurnaya Bay (Shamora) area.

Yup, seems like a good strike

Interesting to note, the pipeline supplies gas to the base of the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade. That particular unit is fighting in Ukraine and is responsible for some of the worst war crimes committed there.
