The Renaissance media team member said the issue is being looked into, but he did not want to be named because he had not received permission to speak to the media.
As of Tuesday morning, he said, the cause of the explosion is still unknown.
"We are reacting to a report of an incident in the operation, but we are unsure if it is an explosion or not. A combined inquiry team led by a regulator is our reaction. We won't speculate," the media representative stated.
