A blazing fire in a crude oil tank in the port of Matanzas in Cuba caused several explosions Saturday morning that have left at least 121 people injured, local authorities said.
Seventeen firefighters who were trying to prevent the flames from spreading were missing, the official Twitter account of Cuba’s presidential office said.
Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper Granma said there was “a high probability” that some of the missing people were dead. In an afternoon press conference, Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero said rescue teams recovered the body of an unidentified person. Local state media reported it was of one of the missing firefighters.
