According to updated information, on December 28, 2025, there was a rupture of the pipeline, which led to an oil leak being transported from OJSC "Kyrgyzneftegaz" to Manas. On the same day, repair work was carried out, during which oil spilled over an area of about 100 square meters.
According to some reports, on January 4, 2026, at 21:55, for unknown reasons, a fire broke out on the spilled oil. The oil that had been spilled during the repair of the underground section of the pipeline caught fire. The fire did not spread beyond this area.
It is also reported that the spilled oil after the repairs was not removed in a timely manner. According to preliminary data, minors may have set fire to the spilled oil the day before the fire, which could have caused the ignition.
