Cubansk havnebrand ude af kontrol

Tre døgn efter at den brød ud, er en brand i et olielager ved Havana fortsat ikke under kontrol. Mandag bredte ilden sig til yderligere to store lagertanke, så fire tanke nu står i flammer. USA har tilbudt at hjælpe med at slukke branden.

Branden startede natten til lørdag, da et lynnedslag satte ild til en stor lagertank. Lørdag morgen bredte ilden sig til en nabotank, hvor den udløste en kraftig eksplosion, der kvæstede mindst 120 mens 17 fortsat savnes.

Mandag morgen brød en tredje tank i brand, og mandag aften bredte ilden sig til en fjerde tank.

Venezuela, der er den eneste stat i området der har gode forbindelser til Cuba, har overført en meget kraftig pumpe til Cuba, der i løbet af i dag vil blive indsat i bekæmpelsen af branden.

Også USA har tilbudt hjælp, på trods af det anspændte forhold mellem de to lande, en hjælp Cuba har takket ja til. I første omgang vil hjælpen bestå at rådgivning fra amerikanske eksperter i bekæmpelse af oliebrande.
