A huge explosion at Venezuela's biggest oil refinery has killed at least 26 people and halted production for two days, officials say.

At least 80 people were also injured in the blast which started a fire at the Amuay plant in Falcon state in the north-west of the country.

State Governor Stella Lugo said nearby houses had been damaged by the blast. The fire is said to be under control.

The refinery, one of the biggest in the world, produces 645,000 barrels a day.

Ms Lugo said there was no risk of further explosions.

Among the dead is a boy of 10.

Many of the deceased were in their sleep cause they lived in a complex from the National Guard that was in the surrounding area. A very sad day for us :weeps:
