A powerful blast at Romania′s biggest oil refinery on Friday has killed one person and left at least four other workers injured.
Around 50 firefighters were deployed to the scene after the explosion rocked the Navodari Petromidia refinery on the Black Sea coast.
The refinery’s operations “have been stopped as a security measure,” said the Kazakh KazMunayGas (KMG) group that owns the oil processing site.
Video footage taken by a tourist showed thick black smoke billowing from the refinery, which is located 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the Mamaia, Romania′s top tourism resort.
Operator Romeptrol Rafinare said that “technological processes in the refinery were safely stopped” and the blaze was later ″isolated and stabilized.″
