The governor of the region told Russian television that three people died on Tuesday when a major gas pipeline caught fire in the Chuvashia republic in western Russia.
Pictures circulating on social media showed a large ball of fire rising over one- or two-storey buildings in a snow-covered village, as residents approached to inspect the fire.
According to preliminary data, four people were working [at the site]. Unfortunately, three of them died when the gas suddenly ignited.”
“The driver survived in a state of shock,” he added.
The fire, which emergency services said has now been extinguished, broke out near the village of Yampakhtino, about 600 kilometers east of Moscow.
Local emergency services said the explosion occurred during the planned repairs of the Urengoy-Pomari-Uzhgorod pipeline, also known as the Brotherhood pipeline.
The pipeline, which runs through Ukraine, is one of the main gas links from Russia to Europe.
Moscow has dramatically reduced shipments to Europe in response to Western sanctions over the conflict in Ukraine.
