March 16, 2026
Drone Strike Caught on Camera
Crew members aboard a nearby vessel filmed the moment a drone struck an oil storage facility at the Port of Salalah, sending flames and smoke into the sky.
Authorities in Oman confirmed that drones hit fuel tanks at the port, damaging energy infrastructure and forcing the suspension of some operations.
The Gulf Cooperation Council has condemned the strike, with its secretary-general accusing Iran of carrying out the attack — an allegation Tehran has questioned while saying it is investigating the incident.
As tensions escalate across the region, the attack on a major oil facility raises serious concerns about the security of critical energy infrastructure in the Gulf.
