A massive explosion tore through a 1400mm natural gas pipeline at Russia's largest natural gas field in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Siberia today. The fire is presently burning out of control. The cause of the explosion is being investigated, but a source says it appears this was a DELIBERATE ACT of Sabotage. Last August, a large-scale fire at Gazprom's gas chemical complex in Novy Urengoi reduced gas deliveries via the Yamal-Europe pipeline. This caused prices on the European market to jump by 6%. today's explosion and fire could still result in market driven price increases.
