The main militant group in Nigeria's Niger Delta said it blew up a pipeline belonging to an Eni SpA (E) subsidiary Friday, the latest of a string of attacks against oil companies.

Eni couldn't immediately comment. In an email, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, said "a major pipeline which delivers crude oil to the Brass export terminal was blown up at the Nembe creek in Bayelsa state this morning, Friday" by its fighters.

It said: "the pipeline belongs to Agip," an Eni unit.
