A fire at Iraq's Salah al-Din refinery at the Baiji oil complex did not affect production, the Iraqi state news agency reported on Monday, citing North Refineries Company.
Baiji, located 180 km (111.85 miles) north of Baghdad, is the largest refinery complex in OPEC's second-biggest producer.
Civil defense had extinguished a fire inside a hydrocracking unit at the refinery and no injuries were reported, the state news agency said.
The company said the cause of the fire was a "technical incident".
