Militants blew up a natural gas pipeline Sunday in Egypt's restive Sinai Peninsula, security officials said.
At least six masked gunmen drove a four-wheel drive before detonating explosives in the attack in the town of Bir al-Abd, around 80 kilometers west of the provincial capital el-Arish, the officials said.
No casualties or injuries have so far been reported and no group has claimed responsibility.
According to officials, the gas pipeline connects to a power station in el-Arish, powering homes and factories in central Sinai.
Egypt's Petroleum Ministry did not react to a request for comment.
The country has for years been fighting a hardened insurgency in North Sinai that escalated in 2013.
In February 2018, the army and police launched a nationwide operation against militants focused on North Sinai.
