A fire at the Naftan oil refinery in Belarus, one of the country's two biggest, has been put out and nobody was hurt, the country's emergency emergencies ministry said on Thursday.

The state Belta news agency said earlier that the fire had been caused by an incident involving diesel fuel at a technological unit.
