Not in Siberia I think, but quite close and also quite well-known: Ufa 1989

We do know there was a (minor?) gas pipeline explosion in Siberia in 1982.

There was a controversial story in Thomas Reed's Cold War autobiography At The Abyss claiming that the USA, under President Reagan's direction, slipped a trojan into some Canadian pipleline control software that ended up causing an explosion in Russia. I say "controversial", because experts on the Russian side have insisted that was physically impossible, as they didn't use digital pipeline controls during that period.

However, while debunking this, a KGB veteran did admit that there was a pipeline explosion in 1982 near the Siberian capital of Tobolsk. He said it was caused by shoddy construction, and the pipeline was fixed within a day.
