Gas tankers hit by drones
Drones hit the U.S.-owned gas storage tanker 'Energos Winter' (IMO: 9256614) at the port of Damietta on July 29, 2026, at 2.20 p.m. and another gas tanker, the 'Gaslog Salem', which was moored alongside. The 'Energos Winter' was struck by an unidentified projectile on its starboard side. Fires broke out both on the regasification ship and the storage vessel. The vessels were moved away from the terminal, while all crew members were reported to be safe. Non-essential personnel were evacuated and local fire services assisted with extinguishing the fire. The 'Energos Winter' was moored in pos. 31° 31' N 031° 47' E, before the fire was extinguished. The 'Gaslog Salem' was struck near the No. 2 forward cargo tanks. The crew extinguished a small fire, and a minor leak was reported. All 25 crew members of the vessel were safe and accounted for. The tanker was anchored off the port in pos. 31° 42' N 031° 38' E. Yemen’s Houthis have denied responsibility for the drone attack, leaving authorities yet to publicly identify those behind the strike. The Houthi-run Foreign Ministry rejected reports linking the group to the incident, saying there was “no truth” to claims that a vessel at Damietta Port had been targeted. The statement said the group’s position was clear and that its attacks were directed only at Saudi Arabia.
