MARACAIBO, May 15 (Reuters) – A fire hit a gas processing facility in Venezuela’s Lake Maracaibo on Friday operated by state oil company PDVSA, according to five sources and videos seen by Reuters, which prompted workers to try to extinguish it.

At least two workers were reported injured while others jumped to the water, according to the sources and videos. PDVSA did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
