Egyptian authorities confirmed on Thursday that a drone attack caused a fire on two gas vessels at the Mediterranean port of Damietta, ending speculation that the blaze was an accident. The fire erupted on Wednesday, with the cabinet stating the incident was an attack rather than a mishap. Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, as reported by Al Jazeera, said Egypt has secured alternatives to cover its energy needs after the attack damaged a gas vessel. He noted that no group has claimed responsibility and that investigations are ongoing. While the cabinet referred to two vessels being engulfed, Madbouly’s statement mentioned damage to a single vessel, reflecting a discrepancy in official reports. The attack underscores vulnerabilities in Egypt’s energy infrastructure, though the government insists it has contingency plans. Authorities are continuing their probe into the incident.
