> Kazakhstan expects to lose about 3.5 million metric tons of oil production this year because drone attacks damaged Caspian Pipeline Consortium infrastructure, Energy Minister Yerlan Akkenzhenov said. The annual target has been cut from 98 million to 96 million metric tons, while oil transit to Germany via the Druzhba pipeline is not planned to resume in the next three months.
