Moscow, Safar 24, 1437, December 06, 2015, SPA -- The search continued Sunday for 30 missing workers after a fire on an oil rig in the Caspian Sea owned by Azerbaijan's state-owned SOCAR oil company, as judicial authorities launched an investigation into the cause of the blaze, dpa reported. There were indications that safety regulations had been violated, a judicial spokesman said in the capital Baku. At least two people were killed and 32 workers were rescued from the rig in the Guneshli oil field. The fire is believed to have been caused when a gas line was damaged in a powerful storm. --SPA 12:26 LOCAL TIME 09:26 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
