The local official from Iran’s Khorasan Razavi province said that the fire in Afghanistan’s Islam Qala border crossing had not spread to Iran’s Dogharoon post, according to Press TV.
“Up to now there has been no report about damage on the Dogharoon border terminal,” said Omid Jahankhah, who serves as supervisor of customs offices in Khorasan Razavi.
Videos and footages circulating on social media on Saturday showed dozens of fuel tankers were damaged in the massive explosion in Islam Qala.
The fire also caused massive damage to infrastructure in the area, including pylons that transmit electricity from Iran to the urban regions in Herat.
Jahankhah would not elaborate on the number of Iranian trucks damaged by the fire on the Afghan side of the border, saying details would emerge after an initial study of the situation on the ground.
According to a Press TV report, at least 60 people had been injured in the blaze. Others said many lorry drivers are feared dead.
