Malaysia fire: More than 145 people injured in gas pipeline blaze

A leaking gas pipeline has sparked a huge fire on the outskirts of Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, injuring at least 145 people.
Caused by a leak on a gas pipeline belonging to state-run energy firm Petronas, the blaze quickly threatened nearby villages during a public holiday for the Muslim Eid celebration, Selangor’s chief minister said, according to state news agency Bernama.
Hundreds have been evacuated.
