At least 12 people are thought to have been killed and up to 80 have been injured after oil leaking from a pipeline in Burma caught fire.
The fire is thought to have started as local people tried to collect oil from the leaking pipeline near the town of Pakokku, in the Magway region.
Officials said many people had been taken to hospital and the number of dead was expected to rise.
The area is at the centre of Burma’s onshore oil industry.
