Damietta facility targeted today
The Damietta facility for exporting and storing liquefied natural gas in Egypt, operated by an American company, was targeted in a drone attack that resulted in a fire. The facility is one of Egypt’s most strategic installations and had been inactive since 2012 due to a dispute over supplies; it resumed operations in 2021 following international partnerships. The facility is responsible for processing around 5 million tons of gas annually and supplies Egypt's gas needs for five years through an agreement with the American company Newforteris. All of this underscores the project's significance and its targeting amid regional tensions, amid increasing attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in the area.
