A banned militant outfit bombed three main gas pipelines in Rahim Yar Khan and it sparked an inferno. However, sources claim that it has now come under control.
While talking about the gas pipelines, officials said, “In a major terror hit, Baloch Republican Army (BLA) blew up three major gas arteries late on Sunday night in Yousafabad area, which sparked so big a fire that it engulfed the populated area located nearby.”
Reports stated that remote controlled devices were used in the explosions which managed to destroy three out of four pipelines in a matter of half an hour.
Since the pipelines carry methane gas, which is highly inflammable, there was a huge explosion and everything turned into a big ball of fire.
Sources added by saying, “In a major terror hit, Baloch Republican Army (BLA) blew up three major gas arteries late on Sunday night in Yousafabad area, which sparked so big a fire that it engulfed the populated area located nearby.”
The fire also managed to kill a woman who was standing nearby. Moreover, several head of cattle were also injured.
Considering the scale of the fire, the administration decided to declare emergency. This is the reason why several people had to evacuate the nearby areas.
