Crude oil loading was suspended at all Iraqi terminals on ‌Thursday after a drone crashed into an oil tanker at the Basra terminal, although it did not cause ⁠damage or a fire, four Iraqi oil and security sources told Reuters.
Iraq's oil terminals are located in the south. It was not immediately clear who launched the drone.
The oil ‌tanker ⁠was towed outside the port alongside another tanker that was anchored as a precautionary measure.
On Wednesday, ⁠a drone came down in Iraq's Faw port without causing any ⁠damage, the state news agency reported, without giving further ⁠details. Operations at the port were not affected.
