Iranian Drone Strikes Fuel Depot at Oman's Salalah Port
Iranian drones targeted oil storage facilities at Oman's Port of Salalah, causing fires and significant damage to fuel tanks. This follows a series of strikes on Omani infrastructure, including the Port of Duqm and regional oil tankers, as part of Tehran's retaliation for US-Israeli military operations
Drones have struck oil storage facilities at the Port of Salalah in Oman, causing fires and damage to fuel tanks.
Thick smoke has spread across the area, but the full extent of damage is still unclear. No casualties have been reported so far.
Sources attribute the strikes to Iran, in retaliation for recent US-Israeli bombing campaigns. This follows similar attacks, including a drone hit on a fuel tank at Oman's Duqm port last week and earlier incidents since March 1.
Oman, which has been mediating indirect talks between Iran and the US, has seen multiple Iranian drone and missile strikes on its energy infrastructure. Earlier this month, attacks targeted oil tankers off Oman's coast, resulting in injuries and one fatality.
Omani security forces reportedly shot down some drones, while others impacted the targets. Maritime security firms like Ambrey have confirmed the strikes.
This is a developing story with potential implications for global oil supply and regional stability.
