Blast in Man-Made River pipeline

Local sources in Ajdabiya city said that an explosion (video here) occurred in one of the Man-Made River pipelines, which took place at dawn on Thursday, in the area between Ajdabiya and Zueitina, which led to floods that penetrated many farms and the evacuation of residents in the areas near the site of the explosion.

The Man-Made River Project Implementation and Management Authority announced that a fault occurred in one of the pipelines at station 360+41 between Ajdabiya and Zueitina due to the stealing of valves and other stuff.

Photos circulated by a number of activists on social media showed that many farms and streets were drowned by Man-Made River, as the blast caused the leakage of large amounts of water, losses in cattle, and property, and farms.
