Bomb hits Russian gas pipeline: agencies
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A bomb destroyed part of a main gas pipeline in Russia's Muslim region of Dagestan, agencies reported on Tuesday.
"Unknown people blew up the Mozdok-Kazimagomed pipeline at its 496th kilometer, causing a fire," an official from Gazprom's Dagestani subsidiary told Itar-Tass news agency.
The pipeline takes gas from Caspian fields in Azerbaijan to the Russian heartland through the turbulent North Caucasus. (Reporting by Amie Ferris-Rotman)
