The Government of Kazakhstan has condemned Ukraine’s latest drone strikes on a Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal on the Russian Black sea.
A statement released by the country’s energy ministry on Saturday labelled the attacks against strictly civilian facilities “unacceptable”.
The CPC handles around 80% of Kazakhstan’s oil export which it transports from Tengiz by the Caspian Sea to the terminal in Novorossiysk.
It paused operations after the eponymous pipeline was damaged by Ukrainian naval drones.
“The CPC pipeline system is an international energy project, and any forceful impact on its facilities creates direct risks to global energy security and causes significant damage to the economic interests of the Consortium’s participants, including the Republic of Kazakhstan.” The ministry said.
No staff or contractor was injured in the attack CPC said, adding that shipments at the terminal will be carried out with “established rules” once the threats from unmanned boats have been eliminated.
In a statement released on Saturday, the consortium said that sampling of seawater is underway, environmental monitoring is being carried out, to check if any oil had spilled in the sea.
"At the moment of the explosion, the SPM’s emergency protection systems ensured the shutdown of the relevant pipelines. Preliminary assessments indicate that no oil has entered the Black Sea." per the statement.
It condemned the attacks as an act of aggression, adding that this was the third of such actions against CPC's facilities.
Kazakhstan’s Energy ministry said that it has activated a plan to reroute export volumes via alternative routes as it continues to monitor the situation.
