Druzhba pipeline
Ukrainian drone attacks inside Russia have been growing in intensity in recent weeks, and the New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence believes Ukraine was behind a drone attack on the Kremlin earlier this month.
Ukraine has not publicly acknowledged launching attacks against targets inside Russia. The Ukrainian defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday.

In the Tver region, which lies just northwest of Moscow, two drones attacked a station that serves the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline, one of the world's largest oil pipelines, the Kommersant newspaper said.
The Tver local council said that a drone had crashed near the village of Erokhino, around 500 km (310 miles) from the border with Ukraine.

How in the freaking world was it possible for anyone to launch these drones so deep into the Russian territory? How is it possible that the Russian mighty crap air-defense system didn't freaking shoot down those flying objects?
Here is another pile of bullshit - Drone Attack Damages Russian Oil Facility As Cross-Border Activity Intensifies - [Link] quote "AFP is reporting Saturday based on Russian regional authorities that a pair of drones truck an oil pipeline facility in Russia's western Pskov region ." Open a freaking map and check out where this Pskov region is. Pskov region borders Latvia and Estonia. So these Ukrainian supermen were able to launch some crap that flew all over Belarus without being noticed?
These Russians are so darn slick and crafty when it comes to taking down Ukrainian ammunition depots, they know darn well where Ukrainians store them. But when it comes to shooting down some unidentified flying crap heading into your territory these Russians turn into Dumb and Dumber. High chances Russians confused all these drones with wild gees flying over their country side.
It's FSB's job. Eliminated dissenting voices, blow up and fake the explosion on a particular object and then simply blame on Ukrainians.
By the by, why do these Ukrainians target only everything related to oil and gas? Why can't they use their drones to eliminate some military base inside Russia?
