A powerful explosion in the Putra Heights area injured at least 25 people. Evacuations are underway.
A massive gas pipeline explosion occurred in Malaysia’s Putra Heights area near Kuala Lumpur, injuring at least 25 people. According to local authorities, the incident was triggered by a fire inside the pipeline, which led to a detonation.
During the blast, a fire column up to 500 meters high rose above the site and was visible from several kilometers away. The shockwave damaged nearby buildings, including residential homes. Several structures caught fire, and some residents were trapped inside.
Emergency services immediately began evacuating the surrounding areas. The injured, some with severe burns, have been taken to medical facilities. Firefighters, doctors, and rescue teams continue to work at the scene.
Authorities have urged citizens to avoid the area due to the risk of further explosions and fire spread. The incident disrupted gas supply to parts of the city. The exact cause of the pipeline fire has not yet been officially confirmed, and an investigation is ongoing.
The explosion is considered one of the most serious industrial incidents in the region in recent years. The Malaysian government has pledged full support to the victims and their families.
