TEHRAN, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- A blast in a gas pipeline in southern Iranian port city of Genaveh killed one and injured three in early hours of Saturday, local media reported.
The injured have been taken to the hospital and one of them was in critical condition, parliamentary member Abolhamid Khedri told the semi-official Mehr news agency.
Rescue operators were dispatched to the scene, but the huge expanse of fire following the explosion has made it difficult for them to further contain the destruction, Khedri was quoted as saying.
The cause of the accident is under investigation and the results will be announced later, he said.
