Jakarta. Residents of leafy Menteng in Central Jakarta were given a huge shock on Tuesday morning when an underground gas pipeline exploded.
The blast, which occurred along 200 meters of the pipeline on Jalan Cikini Raya at 9:30 a.m., caused panic among street vendors but no injuries.
The sidewalk was also badly damaged.
Menteng Police and Central Jakarta Police officers are currently at the scene, as are officials from state gas company PGN.
A PGN spokesman said the gas supply had been turned off so there was no need for residents to be scared.
