Drone hits gas storage tanker at Egypt’s Mediterranean port: British maritime security firm
A drone hit a U.S.-owned gas storage tanker at Egypt’s Mediterranean port of Damietta, British maritime security firm Ambrey said on Wednesday (July 29, 2026), in an initial assessment that could signal a further spread of conflict across the West Asia. A statement from Egypt’s Petroleum Ministry confirmed a fire at the port but made no mention of a drone attack and did not provide a cause for the incident.
