Official sources said that unidentified people had fixed an explosive device with the gas pipelines of eight inch diameter in Loti and 24 inch diameter in Pesh Bogi area. Both pipelines were destroyed when the explosive devices went off.
The supply of gas through these pipelines has been suspended to the purification plant.
The supply of gas has also been suspended in Dera Bugti town and other surrounding areas because the fire resulting from the blasts had affected the power transmission lines.
Gas pipelines in Balochistan have become a frequent target of attacks by militants in Balochistan. Similar cases have taken place in the recent past.
