Oman's Mina al Fahal terminal has suspended oil loading following an explosion near its single-buoy mooring (SBM) berths, two people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

The explosion occurred between SBM 1 and 2 ⁠berths due to ⁠an alleged drone attack, they said.

According to Reuters, it was not immediately clear when the attack took place.

Several ⁠supertankers were seen anchored off the port on Friday, shipping data from LSEG showed.

The terminal could not be immediately reached for comment outside office hours.
