Port of Duqm in Oman Targeted by Drone Attack: Report
The Omani port of Duqm has been reportedly targeted by a drone attack.
Two drones targeted the Duqm commercial port, the state-backed Oman News Agency reported on Sunday, citing a security source.
One of the drones targeted a residential building at the port and injured a foreign worker, while wreckage from the second drone fell near fuel tanks but did not cause any casualties or material damage, according to the report.
As well as offering commercial bunkering services, Duqm is also used as a bunkering location for the US Navy.
"The Sultanate of Oman condemns this attack and affirms that it is taking all necessary measures to address any threat to the safety of the country and its residents," the agency said in the report.
The US and Israel attacked a series of military facilities in Iran on Saturday, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several other senior government figures. Iran responded with strikes on US bases and other targets across the Middle East.
