ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Militants in Nigeria say they have attacked two pipelines belonging to oil giant Royal Dutch Shell.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta says the pipelines were targeted by militant fighters before dawn on Sunday.
Both pipelines are located in Adamakiri and Kula in southern Rivers state.
There was no immediate confirmation from the oil company or Nigeria's government, and the extent of damage was unclear.
Violence has been escalating in the region as the military intensifies operations to flush out rebels battling for a larger share of the country's oil revenue.
