Few further clarifications on the gas pipeline explosion story.
The pipeline doesn't just serve Hungary, but also Slovakia and Romania, where it feeds into pipelines going further into Europe.
And Gazprom has said there would be no interruption of supplies to Europe as parallel pipelines can carry the gas.

Russian agencies are reporting that a natural gas pipeline from Russia to Europe has blown up in central Ukraine sending flames hundreds of meters into the air. More from our news desk:
The Interior Ministry branch in Ukraine's Poltavska region said no one was injured in the June 17 blast but that firefighters were having a difficult time getting the blaze under control.
The explosion happened along the Urengoy-Pomory-Uzhgorod pipeline that can transport some 29 billion cubic meters of gas annually from Russia into Hungary, where it feeds into pipelines going further into Europe.
Ukrainian officials will not be able to determine how long the pipeline will be out of operation until the fire is extinguished and an investigation can be conducted.
There was no news on a possible cause of the explosion.
