Gas pipeline transiting Russian gas to Europe explodes, deliveries not affected

A gas pipeline that carries Russian gas to Europe exploded in Moldova on Sunday.

Gas deliveries to Europe were unaffected. However, many villages in the raion of Stefan Voda and Causeni no longer have gas.

It is unclear what caused the blast.

Authorities have promised to resume deliveries within 72 hours.

Prime Minister Vlad Filat was at the site of the explosion earlier in the day.

Unimedia has a few pictures from the location.
