A fire at an oil refinery in Cuba has been brought under control quickly, as the country faces a deepening fuel crisis.
Black smoke clouds could be seen billowing from the Ñico López Refinery in the capital Havana on Friday.
No-one was injured and an investigation into the blaze has been set up, Cuba's energy ministry said in a post on X. The fire occurred close to where two oil tankers were moored in Havana Bay.
Cuba's fuel shortage has worsened after the US blocked Venezuela's oil shipments to the island.
Venezuela, a long-standing ally of Cuba, was previously believed to have sent around 35,000 barrels of oil a day to the island before the US military seized former president Nicolás Maduro in a raid in the capital, Caracas, on 3 January.
