The latest incident happened on Saturday morning at a facility containing gas tankers in the city of Herat.

Fire engulfed most parts of at least three key facilities containing fuel and gas tankers in key border towns in Farah and Herat provinces west of Afghanistan in the last two months, leaving analysts with suspicions over the back-to-back occurrence of such incidents.

The business community said that a team probed the Islam Qala fire, but it has not made public its findings.
