A drone strike has hit a US-owned gas tanker in the Egyptian port of Damietta, sparking a fire aboard the oil storage ship, according to The Times of Israel. The incident occurred with no reported injuries, and no immediate claim of responsibility has been made. This could potentially mark the first strike on Egypt in the current Middle East conflict.

Security sources, as cited by The Jerusalem Post, confirm that a drone was responsible for the strike on the US-owned gas tanker at Egypt's Damietta port. Additional details on the extent of the damage or the specifics of the tanker are not provided in the available sources.
