QUETTA, Feb 8: The gas pipeline connecting two gas wells in the Sui area of the Dera Bugti district was damaged after unknown people fired two rockets, police official said on Sunday.

The fire, which erupted soon after the attack on the pipeline, was doused after engineers cut off the affected pipeline's gas supply. Sources said that two gas wells - No 45 and 46 - were slightly damaged in the attack.

Officials of the PPL replaced the damaged parts of the pipeline, restoring gas supply from these wells to the main gas plant.
