The official spokesperson for the Public Fire Force, Brigadier General Mohammed Badar Ibrahim, stated that the injuries were due to the site being targeted again during the firefighting operations.
He added that those injured received first aid and were handed over to the medical emergency teams before being transferred to the hospital for treatment.
Ibrahim noted that five fire crews participated in the first site, with support from the oil sector's fire teams, while three fire crews participated in the second site.
