The Druzhba Pipeline runs through Ukraine, they could have stopped or at least throttled supply to Hungary and Slovakia at any time. I don’t understand why they’re going through the (comparative) trouble of bombing it inside Russia

The pipe has two branches. The one through Ukraine to Hungary hasn't worked since the contract expired last 31st December. They're now stopping the northern branch through Belarus.

Germany and Poland stopped buying Russian oil via Druzhba in 2023. Also there doesn’t seem to be a North-South connection, if Slovakia and Hungary are getting oil via Germany it would have to travel by road? I’m all for disrupting Russian export infrastructure, but genuinely confused by this target

This pipeline also carry petrol for region of Russia and Belarus. Hungary is not the primary target. Others strikes against Russian energy networks will happen. Hungarian regime is just dumb : they created a situation where they are collateral victims.
