Qatar says an explosion at its offshore natural gas export terminal has killed 13 people. Multiple outlets report the blast occurred on Sunday night as workers were trying to resume operations after a prior attack. Qatar links the earlier damage to an incident involving Iran’s actions in the context of the broader conflict in the region, according to the reports. The terminal is described as a key part of Qatar’s gas export infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. The sources also note Qatar shares a major offshore natural gas field with Iran, underscoring the regional connection between the two countries’ energy interests. After the attack, workers attempt to restart terminal operations, but the explosion kills 13. The reports provide the casualty figure attributed to the blast and place the incident in a timeline that starts with an earlier strike and follows with the restart efforts. The outlets do not present additional confirmed details in the provided excerpts about responsibility for the blast beyond Qatar’s framing of earlier events.
