Turkish pipeline exploded
Almaty. August 11. Kazakhstan Today - The pipeline Kirkuk - Ceyhan has exploded in the southeastern Turkey, through which the country imports oil from Iraq. As a result of the accident, two people died and one person was injured, the agency reports citing RIA RosBusinessConsulting (RBC).
According to RBC, oil deliveries through the pipeline have been temporarily stopped. According to the local mass media, the people were travelling along the pipeline in automobiles when flames spread from the pipeline and caused death of people.
