LONDON, Sept 17 (Reuters) -Dutch and British wholesale gas prices closed higheron Tuesday amid supply concerns as Russia fired missiles at energy infrastructure in the north-east Ukrainian city of Sumy.
The benchmark front-month contract TRNLTTFMc1 at the Dutch TTF hub was 1.17 euro higher at 35.37 euros per megawatt hour (MWH), or $11.81 mmBtu, by the market close at 1600 GMT, LSEG data showed.
On Monday, the benchmark TTF contract hit its lowest level since late July before rebounding slightly on Tuesday morning.
Russia fired missiles at energy infrastructure in the northeast Ukrainian city of Sumy on Tuesday hours after an overnight drone strike on the region, reducing power in some areas and forcing authorities to use back-up power systems.
The Sumy region borders Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces launched a major cross-border incursion on Aug. 6 and where the last remaining gas transit route from Russia to Ukraine is located.
Ukraine's energy ministry said Russia's attacks had caused a fire at a power substation and cut power to more than 281,000 consumers. Power was later partially restored, it said.
A gas trader said the attacks raised concerns again about the security of gas transit in the region.
