Blaze at Lake Maracaibo Gas Facility

A fire broke out at a gas processing facility on Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, managed by state oil company PDVSA. The incident, witnessed in videos and confirmed by five sources, led workers to take immediate action to control the flames.

Reports indicate that at least two workers sustained injuries, while others resorted to jumping into the water for safety. Emergency response efforts were underway as the situation unfolded.

Attempts to get a comment from PDVSA about the incident have so far gone unanswered, leaving questions about the cause and extent of the fire's impact open.
