In Oman, a foreign worker sustained moderate injuries after two unmanned aerial vehicles targeted the Salalah port. A security source stated that the drones struck port facilities, causing limited damage to a crane. The injured worker received medical treatment, while authorities quickly secured the area and assessed the extent of the damage.
The Omani government strongly condemned the attack, describing it as an act of hostility and reaffirming its commitment to protecting national security and ensuring the safety of residents and workers. The incident follows earlier tensions during the ongoing regional conflict. Fuel storage tanks at the Salalah port were previously targeted earlier this month, prompting emergency crews to battle a fire at the facility.
Oman has traditionally played a neutral diplomatic role in West Asia and had served as a mediator between the United States and Iran prior to the current escalation. Officials have not identified those responsible for the latest attack.
