(CNN) -- A pipeline that sends natural gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan exploded early Wednesday morning, but the cause was not immediately known.

No injuries were immediately reported.

The explosion took place in a suburb of the Egyptian Sinai town of El Arish. 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.
