Drones Strike Fuel Tank at a Port in Oman
As Iran continues its campaign against the Gulf in retaliation for US and Israeli strikes, drones attacked an Omani port on Tuesday, striking a fuel tank, according to state media.
“Fuel tanks at the commercial port of Duqm were targeted by several drones, one of which struck a fuel tank,” according to a security source. “There were no human casualties and the resulting damage was contained,” according to the Oman News Agency.
As Iran expands its targets in the Gulf, this is the second attack on the port in three days.
Oman, which mediated negotiations between the US and Iran, has demanded an end to hostilities.
Two drones hit the same port on Sunday, injuring a worker. According reports, one struck worker housing while the other’s debris fell close to fuel tanks.
Even though Oman was serving as a mediator between Iran and the United States just days before the conflict began, these were the first attacks on the sultanate since it started.
Authorities said that an attack on an oil tanker off the coast of the capital city of Muscat on Monday resulted in an explosion and fire, killing one person.
One crew member, an Indian national, was killed in the explosion in the ship’s main engine room.
