An explosion in Egypt's North Sinai has rocked a terminal that supplies natural gas to Jordan and Israel.
Flames shot into the air at the al-Sabil terminal on Wednesday, sending nearby residents fleeing from their homes. No casualties were reported.
A security official blamed saboteurs for the blast south of the town of El-Arish, 50km from the border with Israel.
"An unknown armed gang attacked the gas pipeline near Arish city," the unnamed security source told the Reuters news agency, adding that the flow of gas to Israel and Jordan had been hit.
