MOSCOW, Sept 2 (Reuters) -Russia's January-August exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) increased by 7.3% from a year earlier to 20.7 million metric tons and jumped by almost a third in August compared to the previous month, mainly due to LNG from Yamal, LSEG data showed on Monday.
Europe accounted for 54% of the total, or 11.2 million tons.
Total LNG exports increased in August by almost 32% to 2.73 million tons compared to July and 24% year on year.
