Videos: Multiple casualties after a massive blaze broke out at oil refinery outside Mumbai, India.

A towering inferno has erupted at a state-run ONGC oil and gas processing plant at Uran, outside Mumbai, reportedly killing five people and injuring at least 11 more while forcing the evacuation of area residents.

The fire broke out in a stormwater drainage system around 7 am local time on Tuesday morning at the facility. Fire and emergency management services are on the scene and have contained the fire, though local residents have been evacuated and the area cordoned off by police, according to local media.
