MOSCOW, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Russia's gas export monopoly Gazprom said it increased daily gas supplies to Turkey by 60 percent to 48 million cubic metres on Monday after an explosion damaged a pipeline carrying Iranian gas.
The company said it increased gas supplies through the Blue Stream underwater pipeline following Turkey's request.
The gas flow on a pipeline carrying Iranian natural gas to Turkey was halted due to a blast in eastern Turkey in the early hours of Monday.
