Fire has been extinguished at another gas well on the platform #10 of the Guneshli field in the Caspian Sea, the Azerbaijani Ministry of Emergency Situations reported on January 15.

Currently, the ministry of emergency situations continues extinguishing fire at other wells of the platform #10 on the field.

The fire broke out on the offshore platform Dec. 4, as a strong storm damaged an underwater high-pressure gas pipeline. As many as 33 people were rescued in an ensuing large-scale operation. The bodies of 11 killed were retrieved, while 19 oil workers are still listed as missing.
