Baku /05.07.21 / Turan: A huge flame that appeared in the Caspian on the evening of July 4 and was visible all the way from Absheron to Neftchala turned out to be an eruption of a mud volcano on "Dashly" island, SOCAR said.
In connection with the appearance of a flame over the Caspian Sea, SOCAR's industrial facilities were not damaged. All offshore platforms and industrial facilities continue to operate normally, the report said.

The company representatives observed a natural eruption of a mud volcano 30 km away. from the coast between the city of Neftchala (175 km. south of Baku) and the village of Alat (80 km. south of Baku) on the island of Dashly (Stone).
During the observation, the flames subsided, there are no oil industry infrastructure nearby, the report said.
