"Mina Al Fahal is strategically located in the Gulf of Oman, outside of the Strait of Hormuz, which is currently blocked by Iran. That makes it one of the few remaining ports providing an alternative route to ship crude oil from the Middle East."
"The evacuation orders came after drone strikes triggered a fire at the Port of Salalah, Oman's biggest port, on Wednesday. The state-run Oman News Agency reported around midnight local time that teams were responding to a fire at the port after earlier saying multiple unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted at Salalah Port."
Oman has evacuated all vessels from its Mina Al Fahal oil export terminal as a precautionary measure following security incidents. Mina Al Fahal, located in the Gulf of Oman outside the Strait of Hormuz, serves as a critical alternative route for Middle Eastern crude oil exports, particularly as Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz. The evacuation was triggered by drone strikes that ignited a fire at Salalah Port, Oman's largest port, on Wednesday. Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted at Salalah, and authorities reported that containment efforts would require significant time.
