A suspected drone strike targeted a US-owned LNG floating storage facility at Damietta Port, Egypt, on July 29, 2026. Multiple open-source intelligence reports indicated fires broke out at the facility, with firefighters responding to the scene.
According to maritime security firm Ambrey, the facility - which flew a Marshall Islands flag - was struck by at least one drone while moored at the port. Initial reports from OSINT sources indicated there were no casualties and no damage to port infrastructure per Ambrey.
The Egyptian government has not confirmed the incident, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The target was described variously across sources as an LNG floating storage facility, an LNG tanker, or an LNG carrier.
The incident follows a pattern of regional tensions affecting energy infrastructure in the eastern Mediterranean, though this specific attack remains unconfirmed by official Egyptian or US authorities.
