CBC News, citing witnesses, reported the explosion happened shortly after 4 p.m. local time (1830 GMT) and multiple ambulances were seen coming and going from the refinery in Canada’s Newfoundland province.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Newfoundland did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ query.
