A fire at an oil refinery in Cuba has been brought under control quickly, as the country faces a deepening fuel crisis.
Black smoke clouds could be seen billowing from the Ñico López Refinery in the capital Havana on Friday.
No-one was injured and an investigation into the blaze has been set up, Cuba's energy ministry said in a post on X. The fire occurred close to where two oil tankers were moored in Havana Bay.
Cuba's fuel shortage has worsened after the US blocked Venezuela's oil shipments to the island.
Venezuela, a long-standing ally of Cuba, was previously believed to have sent around 35,000 barrels of oil a day to the island before the US military seized former president Nicolás Maduro in a raid in the capital, Caracas, on 3 January.

Someone used a lit match to check the oil storage tank ?
Like at the tragic Notre Dame fire*, probably a really stupid and careless smoker who dropped a cigarette at the wrong time on break.
* Never proven.
It would be a shame if a unimpressed citizen of Cuba decided to fly their DJI drone they bought at Costco for Christmas into the refinery...... Whoops I forgot, they don’t have a Costco in Cuba :-)
Maybe they got desperate and tried to refine some Cuban rum and it blew up
I thought Clinton or Ubama normalized relations with Cuber.
good. the sooner this regime is brought down the sooner the Cuban people can enjoy the freedom they deserve. Ditto for Iran.
I think that this was probably the reason Rubio took the job. He sees it as his mission to free the people of his ancestral homeland. And maybe he will get a 241 if Venezuela is forced to accept the results of free elections.
