Argentina's worst oil spill in 10 years
On the 10th local time, an oil spill occurred in the Rio Negro province in southern Argentina, and a large area of land was polluted.
It is understood that at noon that day, the main oil pipeline of Alderval Company ruptured, causing a large amount of oil to leak.
At present, a number of unloaded oil tankers are pumping oil at the scene to curb the further spread of the leaked oil as soon as possible.
The government is sending drones to determine the affected areas.
Professionals said that the spill was the most serious in Argentina in the past 10 years, or it was related to the recent surge in oil production in the "Dead Cow" Basin that caused excessive pressure on the local oil pipeline.
