Experts from Mexico arrived in the Cuban city of Matanzas to assist in putting out a massive fire that broke out on Friday and is still going strong in the island's primary fuel depot facility.
Three helicopters and a Boeing 737-700 from the Air Force have been dispatched from Mexico, as part of the assistance package. The governments of Mexico, Venezuela, Russia, Nicaragua, Argentina, and Chile also gave the nation financial assistance, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel underscored.
Cuba has asked for help to contain a massive fire at a fuel depot that has left at least one person dead, 121 people injured and 17 firefighters missing. Two more tanks caught fire after the first unit was set ablaze by lightning, which started the entire conflagration.
