The operator also told LETA that Gazprom has informed about suspension of gas deliveries.
Gazprom has said that it stopped delivering gas to Latvia on July 30 over contract violations.

"Today Gazprom has stopped gas supplies to Latvia as part of the July application, due to violations of the conditions of gas withdrawal," the company said on Telegram.
