Emergency crews responded Tuesday afternoon to a gas leak in Prague’s Smíchov district after a medium-pressure gas pipeline was accidentally struck by construction workers on Peroutkova Street.
Firefighters from Smíchov and Petřiny stations secured the area, while gas utility workers from Pražská plynárenská worked to stop the leak. Authorities established a safety perimeter as a precaution.
The pipeline was sealed, and the gas release brought under control by 2:58 p.m. No injuries were reported, and the situation has since been resolved.
