This night, the Urengoyskoye field caught fire in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

In Russia, a fire broke out at night due to a pipe rupture at the Urengoy field in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

This was reported by the Telegram channel "Gaz-Batyushka", where the video was published

A pipe rupture of 1400 mm occurred at this site, which caused a fire.

The Urengoy field is one of the largest in the world, second only to the North/South Pars field, which is shared by Iran and Qatar.
