An explosion and fire at Guinea's main fuel depot rocked the port of the capital Conakry early Monday morning, killing at least 13 people and seriously injuring 88 more according to authorities, APA reports citing DW.
The cause of the blast is currently unclear, with officials saying the "scale and consequences could have a direct impact on the population."
Residents said they were awakened by a deafening blast and shattering windows. Massive clouds of smoke covered the area, forcing hundreds of residents to flee.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control late Monday morning, said government sources.
