Oil rig disaster hits Gabon coast
Four bodies have been recovered from an underwater oil rig wreckage off Gabon's coast, per The Peninsula Qatar. The incident occurred near Libreville, where the platform sank after a reported structural failure.
Five workers remain missing following the sinking of the rig, which was operated by a multinational energy company, Reuters reports. Search efforts are ongoing with local maritime authorities coordinating rescue operations.
The disaster has prompted renewed scrutiny over offshore drilling safety protocols in Gabon's waters, as environmental groups express concern about potential oil spillage. Eyero Radio notes that this incident comes amid heightened regulatory discussions at the African ICT ministers' conference.
