An oil slick on the Moskva River in Moscow caught fire Wednesday afternoon, sending a plume of heavy black smoke skyward in the southern part of the city.

Alarmed Muscovites shared photos and video of the plume on social media, which can be seen below.

Two adults and one 9-year-old child were injured in the fire and taken to a local hospital, according to Russia Today. Firefighters extinguished the blaze, which stretched about 300 feet down the river, in 15 minutes.

The state-owned oil pipeline company Transneft initially confirmed it was involved in the incident, believing the spill was likely related to a company-owned underwater oil pipeline that carries jet kerosene, gasoline and diesel to the Moscow Refinery.

” We [confirm], that’s our incident,” a Transneft spokesman told state-owned news agency TASS.

However, Transneft now disputes its involvement after a preliminary inspection of the pipieline found no damage, a company statement said.

“The incident occurred at the site of passage of the pipe.

It is not clear what exactly caused the fire, although a representative of the Transneft oil pipeline company told RIA Novosti that an accident on its pipeline had occurred and it stopped pumping oil products through it. According to rescue workers, the oil fire began after a nearby grass fire reached the site of the spill.

Some residents reported hearing an explosion prior to the fire, and rescue services told residents to stay indoors. SOURCE
