DERA MURAD JAMALI: Unidentified armed men blew up a natural gas pipeline in the Loti area of Dera Bugti on Friday.

“Unidentified armed men had planted explosive material with an eight-inch diameter pipeline supplying natural gas to a purification plant and detonated it with a remote control,” Levies officials said adding that the sabotage act caused suspension of gas supply to the plant.

Law enforcement agencies reached the site of the attack soon after the incident and launched an operation to trace the suspects.
