Dera Bugti: Militant saboteurs blow up another gas pipeline
DERA BUGTI: Unidentified militant saboteurs Tuesday night blew up a part of yet another gas pipeline in Dera Bugti disrupting the supply to the Sui plant from the field, Geo News reported.

"A planted device was used to damage a 24-inch diameter pipeline near Bugti Colony. The blast blew away a considerable length of the pipeline,” a Levies official said.

He added that as a result of the blast, gas supply to the plant --from some wells-- stands suspended.

Meanwhile, the security agencies have reached the site and launched a probe.

They Sui gas plant operators said that repair work would be initiated after security clearance.

Official suspect separatist Baloch militants are behind these sabotages as it is their signature modus operandi to bomb the gas pipelines and go back in the hiding.
