16/10/2024 6:12
        At least 18 people including workers, neighbors and firefighters have been reported injured due to a fire at a crude storage tank in Venezuela's La Salina
        oil terminal, sources with knowledge of the facility's operations said on Tuesday.
        
        The fire broke out early in the day during a storm and was raging through the afternoon. The facility, which is operated by state oil company PDVSA mostly for domestic use, is located near the western city of Cabimas on the shore of Lake Maracaibo.
        
        "They are calculating 18 people injured including firefighters from Cabimas, PDVSA (workers) and also locals," one of the sources said.
        
        PDVSA did not reply to a request for comment.
        
        Firefighters said earlier on Tuesday they were working to control and suffocate the balls of fire, which left a tall plume of black smoke, according to videos seen by Reuters.
