The explosion was reported at around 17:00 on Friday evening in the village of Pasvalio Vienkiemiai, in the District of Pasvalys.
The explosion occurred in the Amber Grid gas main pipeline. No casualties have been reported.
“There were unexpected sounds, it seemed as if planes were flying somewhere low – a high-pressure gas pipeline exploded on the side of Valakėliai, on the Pasvalys-Šiauliai road, a couple of kilometres from Pasvalys. The flames are shooting up to a high altitude,” Pasvalys District Mayor Gintautas Gegužinskas described the incident to LRT RADIO.
