Shell oil said a blast struck one of its facilities Monday in restive southern Nigeria. The main militant group had said it had planted three car bombs around the region.

A company spokesman, Bisi Ojediran, said the blast hit company property in the city of Port Harcourt, but he gave no details on any casualties or production cuts in Africa’s oil giant. Minutes earlier, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Deltahad said a car-bomb attack was imminent.
