Putin’s key gas pipeline rocked by massive mystery explosion for second time in months sending fireball into the sky

VLADIMIR Putin’s key gas pipeline has been rocked by a massive mystery explosion for the second time in ten months.

Footage caught the huge fireball from the blast on the Yamburg-Yelets 1 main supply pipe in the Khanty-Mansi region of Siberia, Russia.

The glow from the inferno and smoke column were visible for several miles, with the cause of the explosion now being urgently investigated.

The terrifying ordeal comes amid a series of sabotage strikes on key Russian energy facilities linked to the war in Ukraine.

Yet Kyiv rarely claims responsibility for such strikes.

The powerful inferno was near the village of Lykhma, 300 miles north of Siberian capital Khanty-Mansiysk.

The pipeline supplies gas from the Yamal peninsula in northern Siberia to European Russia.

Reports said there were no casualties in the remote explosion.

The gas pipeline had to be cut, hitting supplies to European Russia.

Exports of gas by Russia have plummeted since the start of the war against Ukraine.

Two people were killed and three injured in a previous explosion on the same pipeline in May 2023.

Last month, an enormous explosion rocked one of Putin’s key weapons factories – as dramatic footage captured the huge inferno.

The Russian plant produces key ballistic missiles used by Vlad’s armies in their invasion of Ukraine and even components for nuclear weapons.

Clips shared online show the incredible blaze erupt on the horizon near the western city of Izhevsk.

It followed another huge explosion that rocked a military unit storing Putin’s prized missiles in Russia.

It is believed the missile depot near the city of Volgograd was blasted by kamikaze drones in the early hours of November 16 – triggering a massive blaze.

More than 600 people including at least three children were evacuated from military housing at the unit after the blast.

Elsewhere, the former deputy prime minister of Ukraine has warned that World War Three has already started.

Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze told The Sun that any hopes of the West negotiating for peace with Russia is naive – and Putin’s empire must be cut off at its knees.

Ivanna told The Sun that for Ukraine to defeat Putin, Russia needs to be “weakened”, “isolated” and “banished”.
