Santo Domingo.- The Environment Ministry launched an investigation into the fuel oil spill from a pipeline of the miner Falcondo in a district of San Cristóbal province (south).

Environment spokeswoman Julia Ramírez said technicians were sent to the site and render a report afterwards.

Quita Sueño mayor, Antonio Brito said the fuel leak is in the pipeline from that town to the mining company Falcondo, in central Monseñor Noel province.
