Kyodo News agency said there were no injuries, but the rocket punctured a tank, spilling hundreds of gallons of fuel.

"This is not anything new and it will not help ease oil prices," said Ehsan ul-Haq, head of research at JBC Energy in Vienna, Austria. "The oil futures market is very strong, but the physical markets are not so strong."

Hmmm.
