Sites in Oman’s Musandam Governorate were targeted in a drone attack early Sunday, Oman’s official news agency reported, citing a security source.
The source did not identify those responsible for the attack or provide details about the targeted locations.
Oman strongly condemned the incident, with the security source saying the country was taking “all necessary measures to deal with these developments and protect the safety of the country and its residents.”
Authorities are continuing to assess the situation.
The attack carries particular significance due to Musandam’s strategic location overlooking the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important maritime routes for energy shipments.
The incident comes amid rising regional tensions and follows emergency talks in Muscat between Iranian and Omani officials focused on maritime security and developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
