MARACAIBO (Reuters) -At least 18 people including workers, neighbors and firefighters were reported injured on Tuesday in a fire at a crude storage tank in Venezuela's La Salina oil terminal, sources with knowledge of the facility's operations said.
The fire broke out early in the day during a storm and has been 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.
