Unidentified miscreants blasted two 16-inch diameter gas pipelines in different areas of Balochistan on Tuesday, suspending gas supply to purification plants. According to sources, unknown militants had planted explosives on gas pipelines in different areas of Pir Koh and Dera Bugti, which exploded early Tuesday morning.
Rescue teams and Sui gas authorities reached the sites of the blasts and started efforts to repair the damaged pipelines. The blasts led to a suspension in the supply of gas to purification plants and domestic consumers in different areas of Balochistan and Sindh. However, the supply was restored within five hours, after the damaged portion of the gas pipelines was replaced.
