Mexico Investigates Oil and Gas Pipeline Blasts

Mexican authorities are investigating a series of gas and oil pipeline explosions that forced the evacuation of thousands of people in eastern Veracruz state.

The six explosions caused fires along the pipelines Monday, but there were no reports of casualties.
The blasts caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to state oil monopoly Pemex, which called the explosions an act of sabotage. The company immediately shut down the affected lines.

Pemex also said that domestic supplies, not international exports, would be affected.
