Russia - Russian pipeline breach threatens environmental catastrophe
MOSCOW, July 31 (RIA Novosti) - An oil leak from the Russian section of a pipeline near the Belarusian border threatens an environmental catastrophe in the region, the Natural Resources Ministry said Monday. Sunday's accident on the Druzhba (Friendship) oil pipeline, which runs from Russia to central Europe and is controlled by Russia's state-owned pipeline monopoly Transneft, caused a spillage and pollution over an area of ten square kilometers, including forests and water facilities, in the Bryansk Region.
