The explosion of a gas pipeline in Crimea was organized by Ukrainian intelligence, Russia’s security service – the FSB reported.
On August 23, unidentified persons damaged the gas pipeline, located in Crimea’s mountainous area and used for supplying gas to a military unit and to the village of Perevalnoye. The gas pipeline operation was restored on the next day. On 6 September, four suspects were arrested.
“It was established that this act of sabotage was orchestrated by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate department in Kherson, the so-called Tavria operational service, with participation of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, which is banned in Russia. On 4 September 2021, FSB staffers detained Crimean residents: Mejlis deputy chairman Nariman Dzhelyalov who acted as a middleman, and direct perpetrators Asan and Aziz Akhmetov,” the FSB said in a statement.
Allegedly, the perpetrators traveled to Ukraine in June to be trained to use explosives. The Ukrainian military intelligence pledged to pay them around $2,000 for the act of sabotage. The explosive device was delivered to Crimea in July. The attack was initially scheduled to be carried out on the Independence Day of Ukraine, celebrated on August 24th.
In August, several suspects blew up the gas pipe of the State Unitary Enterprise “RK“ Krymgazseti ”in the village of Perevalnoye, Simferopol district, which left residents without gas. The Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a case of deliberate damage to property (part 2 of article 167). The maximum punishment for her is five years in prison.
The FSB on September 4 detained three residents of Crimea, who are now in custody. According to the service, one of them is an intermediary, deputy chairman of the Mejlis Nariman Dzhelyalov, two others are the direct perpetrators of the sabotage Asan and Aziz Akhtemov.
According to initial reports five local residents were detained on suspicion of damaging the gas pipeline, their lawyer Emil Kurbedinov said. Then it turned out that the Mejlis members were detained, and they were three.
At the same time, about 60 people came out to the FSB building in Simferopol to protest. The protesters demanded to tell where the detained Crimean Tatars were, whose houses were searched by law enforcement agencies the day before.
The US State Department later called on the Russian authorities to release all detainees.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky linked the detentions in Simferopol to the Crimean Platform forum. “They have already taken Nariman Dzhelyalov <…> This is how Russia reacts to the start of the Crimean Platform operation. All detainees must be released,” the president wrote.
According to the official version of events, at the direction of one of the leaders of the “Mejlis” in June the Akhmetovs went to Ukraine, where they were trained in explosives. They were promised about $2,000 for organizing the explosion. The action was planned to coincide with the Independence Day of Ukraine, August 24th.

Laughable ignorance. The americans must have forgotten they are increasingly becoming irrelevant the world over.
U.S. is below clown level currently. Even the Taliban are more respected than the U.S. govt.
So dumm dreist und durchschaubar diese Ukro Nationalisten. Unglaublich. Das Theater inszenieren die nur für sich selbst. Das glaubt doch sonst keiner. Totale Ukro Blamage. Da können die Plattformen abhalten wie sie wollen. Jedoch auch zu Lasten der Krimtataren, die sich hier korrumpieren und verhaften lassen. Die müssen tatsächlich Not leiden, um sich auf den Ukro Schwachsinn für Taschengeld herzugeben. Peinlich. Nur Nawalny ist noch dümmer.
The tatars and Ukraine are finnished!!
Ukrainian pipeline implosion imminent.
No implosion needed. Russia has control over the pipelines. They just push the off button and thats it…
Ukropnazis are dumb as rock. Their terrorist operation caused only 24hours of disruption yet the payback will be felt much longer.
They were probably paid by the incidents of sabotage, not by the destruction. Five minor breaks would earn 5 times more than one huge and much more devastating blast.
$2000 lol. Ukronazis are on a tight budget…
They can still afford their uniforms for their third rate SS tribute act.
Yeah, you can get more money in one day by selling your body in the west.
Next stop Kiev… Hurra.
Yes, its on the way to Lvov.
How does it happen that the Ukranazis can still conduct sabotage in Crimea?
Remember many ukropian clowns “escaped” to Crimea to avoid being drafted and having to go to the front lines against the DPR/LPR forces.
We are talking about many tens of thousands of people, many of younger generations. Amongst them you only need the smallest percentage to act out as traitors and bought and paid for idiots.
Deport those terrorists once they have seved prison time.
… to Gulag in Siberia…
