A Mexican official says the number of workers injured in a deadly oil-maintenance platform collapse has risen to 18.
The new figure comes from Carlos de Regules, head of the Agency for Security, Energy and the Environment, who also reports that there was no oil spill associated with the accident.
De Regules says some lubricant leaked but it "does not pose a threat" of contamination.
Work to remove the rig is under way.
Officials had said previously that 10 were hurt in Tuesday's accident, which also killed two workers when one of the Troll Solution platform's legs gave way in the southern Gulf of Mexico.
De Regules said Wednesday that an investigation could take four to eight months.
