According to the government’s official news website, IRNA, the blast was caused by the bursting of one of the furnaces of the sulphur production unit of phase three of Abadan Oil Refinery during the start-up operation, causing a huge explosion.
The blast apparently had no casualties, and IRNA claims that production at the refinery continues as usual.
Abadan refinery supplies around 25 percent of the country’s fuel needs.
