Tank No. 3 with crude oil caught fire at Cuba's main oil terminal in Matanzas. The fire moved from a second tank that had caught fire two days earlier. This is the largest industry accident on the island in a decade.

Matanzas is Cuba's largest import port for crude oil and fuel. Matanzas oil is the main source for the island's power generation. The incident has impacted oil prices, as Cuba will have to replenish its reserves once the fire is contained.
