A large explosion at a methane drilling rig left two workers injured.

CCTV footage shows the moment of the explosion in Orenburg Oblast, Russia, on March 29.

The massive blast and thick, black smoke can be seen billowing into the air as flames engulf the structure installed into the ground.

Local media reported that the well was being developed when a pocket of methane gas leaked and ignited, causing the explosion.

Two individuals were seriously injured, with one of them later succumbing to their injuries in the hospital.

Police are currently investigating the cause of the incident.
