Two ships used for the processing and storage of gas have caught fire in the Egyptian port of Damietta, without causing injuries, according to the oil ministry. In an earlier statement, maritime shipping service Inchcape said a blast occurred at the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal. Port operations are expected to resume overnight at other berths and terminals, it added. The Reuters news agency, citing British maritime security company Ambrey, reported that a US-owned floating storage tanker at the port had been hit by a drone. Earlier this week, Trump had abruptly stopped bombing Iran after 13 days in what US officials claimed was an attempt to give diplomacy a chance.
