DUQM, Oman - A drone strike targeted a fuel tank at the commercial port of Duqm in Oman, according to a security source on Tuesday. Authorities have contained the resulting damage, with no casualties reported, the Oman News Agency said.
The Omani government has condemned the attack and affirmed that it is taking all necessary measures to address the situation.
Tensions in the region have escalated after reported air strikes by Israel and the United States against Iran, which resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to reports. Since then, Tehran has allegedly retaliated by striking Israel and other countries in the region with missiles and drones.
The incident at Duqm port underscores the heightened security concerns in the region amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
