Ruptures (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bursts

(Other definitions for bursts that I've seen before include "Problems with water pipes" , "Explodes from inside pressure like balloon" , "Explodes or breaks open" , "Spurts" , "Breaks open suddenly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Telegraph and the New York Times.
