One person was killed and 30 people went missing in Azerbaijan after an oil and gas rig in the Caspian Sea was engulfed by a fire, the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) said.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Another 32 people were rescued after the fire broke out on the Guneshli platform, according to SOCAR.

The platform caught fire on Friday as a gas pipeline was damaged by heavy wind.

Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has reportedly set up a commission to investigate the incident, to be chaired by Prime Minister Artur Rasizada.
