What happened

A methane leak occurred in Miramare, a suburb of Rimini, as a result of an inadvertent rupture of a pipeline during construction work on the ‘Spina Verde’ park. The fire brigade and personnel from the gas network were promptly dispatched to the scene. The leak led to the disruption of the methane supply to a considerable area, including the ‘Federico Fellini’ airport. The leak was successfully halted, and efforts to restore the service commenced. There have been no reports of damage to property or injuries.
