A spill of a substance resembling oil occurred at a deposit in the Pniewo region of the Greater Poland Voivodeship.

The first alarm signal was the smell of gas that could be felt near a gas station and a hotel in Pnevy.

A PERN representative confirmed to WP Wiadomości that the leak came from a pipeline owned by the company.

A chemical team and a task force from the state fire service arrived at the scene to repair the pipeline.

A pipeline malfunction caused traffic disruption at kilometre 129 of national road 92.

The pipeline leak is not expected to pose an explosion or fire hazard.
