Turkey: Powerful explosion at major Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline

RT: A Turkish state-run petroleum firm has cut off the flow of oil from the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline following a mysterious explosion and the resulting blaze, with the aftermath reportedly caught in images circulating online.

The explosion rocked a section of the pipeline in Turkey’s southeastern province of Kahramanmaras on Tuesday night, about 108 miles (175 kilometers) from the line’s terminal in Ceyhan, the BOTAS Petroleum Pipeline Corporation said in a statement. The cause of the blast remains unclear.

“There was an explosion for an unknown reason, and a fire occurred as a result. The oil flow was immediately stopped by BOTAS teams and technical safety measures were taken,” the firm said, adding “the line valves closest to the scene were closed” and that “many fire trucks, emergency response teams and related units are intervening.” MORE HERE
