Mexico City: The death toll from a fire at a northern Mexico oil refinery has risen to three, the oil company said Sunday, after two more workers succumbed to their injuries.
The fire broke out Friday at the complex in Ciudad Madero, a city bordering the US state of Texas, just two weeks after another blaze at the same refinery.
State-run energy company Pemex said on Twitter that the workers were doing maintenance work on a coker unit when the accident took place. The firm said the unit was out of service and did not suffer material damage.
A fire injured 23 workers at the same refinery in the state of Tamaulipas on July 24.
