Egypt: Drone trigger port fire
The Egyptian government reported that the fire at the Damietta Port, which occurred on July 29, 2026, was caused by an attack from a drone. This is the first assault on an Egyptian facility since the start of the Iranian war in February. The fire temporarily took the Tregiz vessel "Enargos Winter" out of service, impacting the natural gas supplies to the national grid, which typically receive about 450 million cubic feet of gas daily, with preparations underway to receive new shipments. The statement confirmed that no casualties occurred and that investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances of the incident and to take the necessary measures to protect Egypt's national security.
