MOSCOW, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Russian state oil pipeline monopoly Transneft said that a pumping station on the Druzhba pipeline was shelled on Tuesday, but that the pipeline was working as normal on Wednesday.


Unconfirmed social media reports suggested that a section of the pipeline in western Russia's Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine and Belarus, had come under fire. The Druzhba pipeline carries oil from Russia to Europe. Parts of it go through Ukrainian territory. (Reporting by Reuters)
