A products pipeline caught fire in Port Harcourt, Nigeria today near Nigeria’s main oil hub of Port Harcourt. Military troops have been called in. A resident of the area told Reuters two villagers had been badly burned but not killed and so far were the only known casualties of the blast at Eleme, outside the refinery town. Crude oil export facilities did not appear to be threatened. Hundreds of people were killed earlier this month in a spate of pipeline explosions in the oil-producing area around the refinery town of Warri. At least eighteen villagers were burned to death Monday in the latest blaze in the Warri area.
