A fire broke out at a fuel depot operated by Indonesia's state-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina in North Jakarta on Friday night, killing at least 17 people and injuring 50, according to police and rescuers. The company said, the fire has been extinguished, and a preliminary investigation shows that it erupted when a pipeline ruptured during heavy rain, possibly due to a lightning strike.
