On June 28, 2026, an explosion occurred at an oil drilling platform operated by the state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in Apure, Venezuela, injuring at least eight workers. The explosion took place just days after a series of devastating earthquakes had resulted in over 1,450 confirmed deaths across the region.

The injured workers were promptly transported to Colombia for medical treatment, as reports indicate that the severity of their injuries required more advanced medical care than was available locally. The incident has raised concerns about safety protocols at PDVSA, which is already under scrutiny due to the recent natural disasters impacting the country. The situation unfolds against a backdrop of ongoing challenges in Venezuela's oil sector, which has faced various operational difficulties in recent years.
