Petrobras offshore rig explosion kills three
An explosion on an offshore oil and gas platform operated by Brazil's Petrobras has killed at least three workers.
State-run Petrobras said 74 workers were on board the rig at the time and six of them remain missing.
Brazil's oil industry regulator, ANP, says that a fire caused by the blast has been contained and the platform has been stabilised.
ANP also said that no oil leaked from the rig which was located off the coast of Espirito Santo state.
Health officials said that ten workers have been injured.
An official from the union representing workers on the platform said that a gas leak had caused the explosion.
