ISTANBUL (Reuters) - An explosion has cut off gas flow in a natural gas pipeline running from Iran to Turkey within the Turkish section of the line, a Turkish Energy Ministry official said on Thursday.
The official said Turkey's gendarmerie security forces were investigating the reason for the explosion, which he said could have been caused by a militant attack.
"There is no fire. There is no problem with the gas pressure," the same official said.
