An explosion on a Russian gasoline pipeline killed three and injured one other. Local officers and the Tass news company reported on Tuesday.
As a end result, the gasoline move by way of the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhhorod pipeline was interrupted from 1:50 p.m. native time (11:50 a.m. German time). The pipe was broken close to the village of Kalinino, about 150 kilometers from the metropolis of Kazan. Maintenance work was carried on the market, officers stated. The ensuing gasoline flame has now been extinguished.
Pipeline dates from the 80s
The pipeline was constructed within the Nineteen Eighties and runs from north-western Siberia by way of Ukraine. It is presently an important connection for Russian gasoline to Europe, as Russia has stopped supplying gasoline by way of Nord Stream 1, for instance.
The state-owned Russian gasoline firm Gazprom has not but commented on what occurred.
