Ayman Jahin, general manager of Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, confirmed that gas has been switched off to Israel and Jordan.
The cause of the blast was not immediately known, and no injuries were immediately reported.
The explosion took place in a suburb of the Egyptian Sinai town of El Arish. Jahin said a committee traveled from Cairo to El Arish on Wednesday to assess the damage.
In February, a gas pipeline in El Arish that sent natural gas to Jordan was set on fire, officials said.
The state-run MENA news agency said the February incident was a suspected terrorist attack.
It was not clear whether that incident was connected to the political unrest in Egypt. Or is the world still experienced another crisis in Egypt?
