Gas pipeline rupture sparks fire in Russia’s Omsk region
(MENAFN) Russian authorities on Tuesday reported a rupture and subsequent ignition on a gas pipeline in the Omsk region, saying the incident occurred early in the morning.
The regional branch of the Federal Security Service (FSB) stated that the ignition near the village of Rostovka resulted from “repair works conducted on an aboveground section of the pipeline.”
“At 05:13 MSK on Nov. 18, a rupture occurred at the gas pipeline branch leading to Gas Distribution Station No. 3 in Omsk city near the Rostovka settlement, resulting in ignition,” the agency said in a statement.
Authorities reported no injuries or fatalities. The area was cordoned off, and the open flames were contained and extinguished.
Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk units are preparing for restoration work, while a commission will investigate the cause of the rupture.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian media claimed the pipeline was damaged in a nighttime drone attack carried out by Kyiv.
