TEHRAN, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Fire broke out at a storage tank in a petrochemical complex in Iran's western province of Kermanshah on Friday, Tasnim news agency reported.
There has been no report of casualties in the blaze, which was believed to be an accident, at the Bistoon Petrochemical Complex, 15 km east of Kermanshah, the province's capital, in the afternoon, the report said.
Preliminary indications suggested that a fault in the electrical system may have caused the fire, said the report.
Last month, a similar incident in the Bou Ali Sina Petrochemical Plant in Iran's southwestern port city of Mahshahr caused damage to key parts of the complex.
Local reports said that the damage to the complex was estimated at around 60 million euros (66.3 million U.S. dollars). Enditem
