Mexico City (CNN) -- Workers were injured in an explosion at the administrative offices of Mexico's state-run Pemex oil company in the country's capital Thursday, state media reported.
Some people were trapped in the building's basement after the blast, Foro TV reported.
The blast prompted an evacuation of personnel from the Pemex offices, a company spokesman told Notimex.
A large plume of smoke rose near the office tower after the explosion.
Images from the scene showed emergency rescue teams carrying people on stretchers.
It was unclear how many people were injured or what caused the explosion, Pemex spokesman Francisco Montano told Notimex.
"There are injured and significant damage," he said, according to Notimex.
