Gas flow on a pipeline carrying Iranian natural gas to Turkey
The gas flow on a pipeline carrying Iranian natural gas to Turkey was halted due to an explosion in eastern Turkey in the early hours of Monday, Turkish energy officials told Reuters.
The blast occurred in the area of Dogubayazit, a town in Agri province near the Iranian border, the officials said, on condition of anonymity.
They said damage assessment work had begun and it was not immediately clear when the gas flow will resume or what caused the blast, which occurred around 9 p.m. EDT on Sunday.
