A massive fire erupted at Al-Amoudi fuel station in the Al-Dima area of Markha Al-Sufla district, Shabwah governorate, eastern Yemen. The incident resulted in the death of one young man and injuries to others, in addition to significant material losses.
Local sources reported that the fire broke out during the process of unloading fuel into the station’s tanks. A spark led to a violent explosion, followed by flames engulfing the surrounding facilities.
The victim was identified as Hussein Mubarak Al-Amoudi, who died due to the explosion, while three others sustained various injuries.
Sources indicated that the delayed arrival of civil defense teams contributed to the escalation of damages, as the fire continued to burn for a long time before being brought under control.
