Three people were injured as a result of a powerful blast on a ship in the French port of Hyeres, French media outlets reported on Saturday. One of the victims, who sustained severe burn injuries, was taken to a hospital in the city of Toulon, they said.
The vessel reportedly exploded during refueling. According to the emergency services of the Var department, firefighters arrived at the scene to extinguish the blaze.
The burning ship was towed far from the Mediterranean port to prevent the flames from spreading to other boats. Notably, two nearby sailing ships were damaged.
