Oman’s Mina al Fahal oil terminal has suspended oil loading after an explosion near its single-buoy mooring berths, Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
The explosion occurred between the SBM 1 and SBM 2 berths and was caused by an alleged drone attack, the sources said.
It was not immediately clear when the incident took place.
Several supertankers were seen anchored off the port on Friday, according to LSEG shipping data cited by Reuters.
The report comes after Iranian state media said Wednesday that Tehran had targeted a US military ship carrying what it described as a “control and command center” as it approached Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman. US Central Command denied that claim.
