Major fire destroys fuel tankers at depot in northern Iraq VIDEO

A major fire broke out at the Tanjaro fuel depot in Iraq’s Sulaymaniyah province, triggering several explosions and destroying dozens of fuel tankers.

The blaze reportedly destroyed 38 tanker trucks and more than 3 million liters of gasoline. Initial reports indicate that a fuel leak may have caused the fire, allowing the flames to spread rapidly across the facility, Caliber.Az reports, citing Iranian media.

Two people suffered burns in the incident. One was hospitalised, while the other was reported to be in stable condition.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire and assessing the full extent of the damage. The incident could also disrupt fuel transportation and distribution in Sulaymaniyah province.
