☆ Finland says 'outside activity' likely damaged gas pipeline, telecoms cable
  + stars: | 2023-10-10 | by ( Anne Kauranen Terje Solsvik | Anne Kauranen | Terje Solsvik | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
The Balticconnector gas pipeline was shut early on Sunday on concerns that gas was leaking from a hole in the 77-km (48-mile) pipeline. Finnish operator Gasgrid said it could take months or more to repair. "It is likely that damage to both the gas pipeline and the communication cable is the result of outside activity. The damage to the gas pipeline was believed to have taken place in Finnish waters, while the telecoms cable breach was in Estonian waters, Finnish authorities said. Prices were already up on Tuesday due to fears over tensions in the Middle East but expectations that outside activity caused the pipeline damage pushed prices in the nervous market higher.

REUTERS/Janis LaizansPASVALYS, Lithuania, Jan 14 (Reuters) - A rupture in an old natural gas pipe has emerged as the most likely cause of Friday's blast in the Lithuania-Latvia pipeline, the head of its operator said on Saturday. The explosion yielded flames up to 50 meters high, but there was no immediate evidence of an attack. "The initial survey showed that a welding seam simply tore open", Nemunas Biknius, head of Lithuania's gas transmission operator Amber Grid, told BNS wire. The fire emanating from the more than 40-year old pipeline was put out on Friday but a highway next to the blast site remains closed.
