    A powerful explosion was reported in Turkish part of
    Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline on May 29. The blast took place
    in the part of the pipeline crossing from Sar覺kam覺癬_ region of
    Turkey's Kars province, SalamNews reports citing Turkish sources.

    A fire followed the explosion reaching a height of 100 meters. The
    explosion wave broke the windows of neighboring houses in
    Sar覺kam覺癬_.

    Attributing the tremors to an earthquake, the locals rushed to the
    streets.

    Turan Ermi癬_, a representative of the executive power of
    Sar覺kam覺癬_, said the fire was extinguished.

    "At first, we received information that the explosion occurred
    in Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. But later we determined that the
    explosion occurred in Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline. The situation
    is under control now," said the Turkish official.
