What happened

A spark set a fuel tanker ablaze on the northern edge of Kabul, and the fire quickly spread through dozens of nearby tankers before reaching several homes and a gas station; one witness estimated as many as 100 trucks may have burned. Seven people were killed and 14 injured; firefighters took nearly 12 hours to bring the blaze under control, and electricity to much of the city was knocked out. Afghan authorities ruled out a terrorist incident but had not established the precise cause in the cited reporting.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
