Iranian drones reportedly struck fuel storage tanks at Salalah Port in Oman, igniting large fires and forcing the suspension of operations in parts of the port. Omani air defenses intercepted some drones, but others hit oil storage facilities, causing heavy damage. Authorities said no casualties were reported, while maritime security firm Ambrey confirmed the strike on fuel tanks and noted that merchant vessels in the harbor were not damaged.
Salalah is a major Arabian Sea hub for container trade and fuel storage, making the incident significant for regional energy logistics. Oman’s Sultan Haitham condemned the attack while reaffirming the country’s neutral stance.
