Siberian Pipeline Blast Halts Gas Flow to Russian Military Factories
On July 10th, a gas pipeline in Langepas, Russia, experienced a major explosion, reportedly impacting gas supply to key defense industry facilities. The damaged section, with a capacity of 2.6 billion cubic meters annually, held approximately 4 million cubic meters of gas at the time, causing immediate losses and a subsequent fire. Repair efforts, hampered by the marshy terrain, are expected to take a month, resulting in significant supply disruptions and further financial losses. This event mirrors a previous incident near Vladivostok, where a gas pipeline supplying military facilities was also damaged.
