The operation to empty a gas tanker which developed a leak in Mellieha has come to an end, the Civil Protection Department said in a statement.
The operation started on Monday at 10am and lasted more than 48 hours.

The tanker has now been taken to the Liquigas facility for the necessary repairs to be carried out.
