The Egyptian government has admitted that the port of Damietta was attacked by a drone.

The Egyptian government officially announced that a drone strike caused a fire on two liquefied natural gas tankers in the Mediterranean port of Damietta.

“The investigation is ongoing, and all necessary measures are being taken to protect Egypt’s national security,” the statement read, according to Reuters. It should be noted that no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

On July 29, a drone attacked the Energos Winter, a floating storage tanker owned by an American company. The flames spread to the neighboring vessel, the Gaslog Salem. The fire was extinguished.

It is suspected that Iran may be behind the strike, and this represents a significant escalation of the US-Iran conflict.
