An oil pipeline fire in Myanmar has killed 14 people and injured more than 121 others, state-run television reported.

Villagers had rushed to collect fuel that was leaking from the pipeline when it ignited, apparently when someone lit a cigarette, the national broadcaster said.

The incident happened near Pakokku, in central Myanmar.
