"There have been no accidents on offshore platforms and industrial facilities under the direct control of SOCAR, and work is continuing normally," SOCAR told APA.

"The initial suspicion of an explosion at sea in the direction of Alat is the eruption of a mud volcano," the statement reads

Ibrahim Ahmadov, deputy head of SOCAR's public relations and events department, said the blast took place 10-12 km from the Umid field. No explosion occurred on any of SOCAR's platforms.
