Huge fire breaks out at oil facility in southern Lebanon

Firefighters work to extinguish a fire in an oil facility in the southern town of Zahrani, south of the port city of Sidon, Lebanon, Monday, Oct. 11, 2021. A huge fire broke out at an oil facility in southern Lebanon's coastal town of Zahrani, but the cause was not immediately known.

State-run National News Agency said it was not immediately clear what caused the fire that was still raging more than two hours after it broke out. Firefighters rushed to the scene and were battling the blaze in a giant gasoline tanker in the coastal town of Zahrani. The Zahrani Oil Installation is about 50 kilometers south of Beirut. It is close to one of Lebanon’s main power stations, which stopped functioning two days ago due to a fuel shortage. Lebanon is struggling through a serious power crisis that has resulted in electricity cuts lasting up to 22 hours a day.

Is this linked to the banking issues recently?
