Fuel tanker causes inferno at Rusumo border post, RDF puts fire out

Six trucks are said to have been destroyed in the fire, but it is still unclear if there are any casualties.

From what IGIHE has gathered, around ten in the morning, a commercial petroleum transporting truck arrived at Rusumo border, on the Tanzanian side where it lost control, crashing into other vehicles that were immediately set on fire.

RDF Spokesperson, Lt. Col. Innocent Munyengango confirmed to IGIHE that RDF helicopters with water bombers successfully extinguished the fire.
