A gas pipeline connecting Lithuania and Latvia was hit by an explosion on January 13, but there was no immediate evidence of an attack, Lithuania's gas transmission operator Amber Grid said. Video from Lithuanian public broadcaster LRT showed a fire raging at the blast site in the north of the country. Amber Grid Chief Executive Nemunas Biknius said the company did not see any “malign cause” based on the initial assessment, but the investigation will cover all possible options. The supply of gas was cut off and the flames were expected to soon subside, he added. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
