A fire at Iran`s oldest and largest refinery in the southwest killed one person, state media reported Sunday.

A leaky pump in an under-repair unit at Abadan refinery caused the fire on Saturday, killing a worker, according to the state-owned IRAN newspaper. Firefighters put out the blaze in two hours and operations remained unaffected, the report said.

Iran`s deputy parliament speaker, Ali Nikzad, confirmed Sunday that some workers were also injured, media outlets said.
