Enormous explosion hit one of Russia's major gas pipelines, sending flames and smoke billowing into the sky There are fears it may be a 'tit-for-tat' after traces of explosives were found at the site of the Nord Stream blast The fireball was visible for miles in every direction today after hitting about 14 miles east of St Petersburg Swedish prosecutor claimed sabotage was the cause of the Nord Stream pipeline blasts of September 26

An enormous explosion has hit one of Russia's major gas pipelines, sending flames and smoke billowing into the sky above and prompting fears it was a retribution attack for Vladimir Putin's continued invasion of Ukraine.

The fireball was visible for miles in every direction after hitting about 14 miles east of St Petersburg, the nation's second largest city and Putin's hometown.

One source said: 'Everything is automatic there, and such explosions by themselves, without external influence, are impossible.'

The blast is believed to have hit the main gas pipeline belonging to Gazprom Transgaz SPB, and could have potentially impacted up to one million people.

Ambulances and emergency vehicles were rushing to the scene this afternoon. Eyewitnesses reported intensive care vehicles also drove to the site of the explosion.

It's understood investigators and forensic specialists were also at the site of the explosion as they rush to determine the cause.

However, the major blast did not hit close to residential areas, and there are no initial reports of casualties coming out of Russia.

Russia has deliberately targeted Ukraine's vital energy supply lines in recent attacks which have been condemned around the world and left millions of Ukrainians freezing as winter approaches.

One of the dumbest narratives in the media today. Russia didn't have any reason to blow up a pipeline when they own the valves on one end.

Probably the same bunch that did Nordstream 2.

The poor Ukrainians have been conscripted into serving as storm troopers for the Great Reset.

I tend to think all the money we’re sending into Ukraine is laundered out for the Reset NWO Governing body.

The first thing I assume when I read anything from this site regarding Ukraine is that the article is lying. Then I have to try and figure out what they are talking about.

Your Ruzzki pal’s gaz going up in smoke. If tyrannical fake Tsar Putin had not invaded Ukraine, Russians could be taking home billions, by selling that gaz to Germany. Talk about messing up a good thing.

I am sure this is another blame it on Russia narrative. So far they have all been debunked. The last one was Ukraine missile. So if the DS fails then they just try again.

I dont know what is real or not, but so many on FR on both sides seem to be absolutely sure.

I'm not taking names, dont care enough to, but it might be fun at the end to see who the real idiots here are.
