Middle East conflict: Iran Drone Strike Sets Fuel Tanks Ablaze at Oman’s Salalah Port

A major development has emerged in the ongoing Middle East conflict. Reports indicate that Iran carried out a drone strike on Salalah Port located in Oman. According to reports, the drone targeted fuel storage tanks at the port, triggering a powerful explosion. The strike caused a massive fire as the tanks contained large quantities of oil and fuel. Soon after the blast, huge flames erupted and thick black smoke began rising high into the sky. Initial information suggests that at least three fuel storage tanks caught fire following the attack. Visuals from the scene show intense flames and heavy smoke engulfing the area around the storage facility. The attack reportedly took place during the night, and even by morning the fire had not been fully brought under control. Firefighters were still battling the blaze as large plumes of smoke continued to rise from the burning tanks. Images circulating from the site show the scale of destruction caused by the strike. The fuel tanks that were used for oil storage were directly targeted by the drone, resulting in explosions and widespread fire.
