Nigeria Oil Tankers On Fire

An oil tanker has burst into flames at Nigeria's Port Harcourt after two loud explosions.

Crude exports from the world's eighth-largest oil exporter are not affected, oil industry sources told Reuters.

Violence around Port Harcourt has been escalating in recent weeks with militants vowing to halt oil exports in a move for greater regional autonomy in the country's main oil-producing area.
