Qatar’s Ministry of Defense, meanwhile, said a commercial cargo ship sailing in the country’s territorial waters northeast of Mesaieed Port had been targeted by a drone while traveling from Abu Dhabi. “The attack caused a limited fire onboard the vessel, but no injuries were reported,” the ministry clarified, noting that the ship later resumed its journey toward Mesaieed Port after the fire was brought under control.
