Crude oil loading was suspended at all Iraqi terminals on Thursday after a drone crashed into an oil tanker at the Basra terminal, although it did not cause damage or a fire, four Iraqi oil and security sources told Reuters.
Iraq's oil terminals are located in the south. It was not immediately clear who launched the drone.
The oil tanker was towed outside the port alongside another tanker that was anchored as a precautionary measure.
On Wednesday, a drone came down in Iraq's Faw port without causing any damage, the state news agency reported, without giving further details. Operations at the port were not affected.
