Lithuania Pipeline Explosion: Authorities Order Probe but Gas Co Says ‘Nothing Malicious’

News 18  

Lithuania’s Pasvalys was rocked by a huge blast that hit a gas pipeline late Friday evening, forcing evacuations. Latvian government officials said a probe would be launched to ascertain the cause and the nation’s defence minister Artis Pabriks said he is not ruling out sabotage. The report cited Amber Grid chief executive Nemunas Biknius, who said that they did not see any malicious cause. He pointed to some recent maintenance work conducted on the pipeline – first constructed in 1978 – and said that officials will probe and see if that contributed to the blast.
