Cuba: Day four of Matanzas fire; third oil tank explodes

Cubans living in Matanzas continue to deal with a raging fire at the Matanzas Supertanker Base, as a third oil tank exploded yesterday.

At around 1:30 p.m. yesterday, Cubans across the island witnessed an explosion live on national television.

From afar, many said they could feel the heat from the flames coming from the oil storage facility.

Several tanks have collapsed and fires continue to burn at the large oil storage facility, which is about 60 miles from Havana.

Since the fire started on Saturday, nearly 5,000 people have been evacuated.
