Turkiye's state pipeline operator BOTAS announced on Wednesday that crude oil flow through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline has resumed after an explosion in the country’s southeastern Kahramanmaras province.

The 1,876-kilometer-long key pipeline, which carries crude oil from northern Iraq for export from Turkiye's southern port of Ceyhan, was knocked offline by an explosion late on Tuesday for "unknown" reasons.

The fire which erupted at the 511th kilometer of the pipeline caused a halt in oil flow. The traffic between Kahramanmaras and neighboring Gaziantep province was also stopped for a few hours.
