The sound of an explosion at the Pertamina Refinery Unit IV in Cilacap, Central Java was heard up to 8 kilometers from the incident.
Fire engulfed an oil refinery owned by state oil firm PT Pertamina on Saturday morning
A resident, whose house is located around 8 kilometers from the refinery, said she heard an explosion at around 4:30 a.m.
“I heard a sound like thunder that startled me,” Martinie Susanty said.
However, most residents did not panic because they slept through it. “We only learned of the explosion at Pertamina at 5 a.m. The place was lit up,” Martinie added as reported by tribunnews.com.
The refinery was still belching plumes of smoke at the time of writing.
“There is a large amount of black smoke protruding from the refinery. Flames can be seen also,” Martinie said.
