A fire broke out at Keamari terminal in an oil terminal leading to two people being burnt to death and at least three others suffering from burn injuries. The eruption occurred in the Shell Oil Depot at Keamari Terminal – 1 after which the injured were shifted to the Burns Centre of the Dr. Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital in Karachi. The deceased were identified as Shahid and Salih Muhammad.

The fire was brought under control by fire tenders of the Karachi Port Trust (KPT) and KMC Fire Brigade.

An official said that they received the information of the blaze at around 1:05 p.m. and by 3:30 pm., it was all under control. The exact cause of the blaze is said to be clear after the submission of the final report.
