Deadly blaze - Oil tankers erupt in huge fireball at Homalin river port in Myanmar

"At least two people were reportedly killed and 11 injured in a major fire at a river port in Homalin, in Myanmar's Sagaing region on Monday. Footage captured on Tuesday shows the blaze continuing to rage, as the township fire authorities were unable to fight the flames due to their intensity. The fire reportedly started as oil tankers caught alight on Monday evening, with the inferno subsequently taking hold of 20 vehicles and razing the port infrastructure to the ground. The death toll is expected to rise as soon as rescuers are able to access the scene. Earlier, on March 29, three boats carrying fuel caught fire at the Khobewa Port on the Chindwin River in Homalin Township, killing six people."
