Qatar says main energy hub sustained "extensive damage" from Iranian attacks

By Lex Harvey

Qatar’s main energy hub, the Ras Laffan Industrial City, has sustained extensive damage after being attacked by Iranian missiles twice in 12 hours, state-owned QatarEnergy said.

Ras Laffan, an industrial hub about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Doha, is a bedrock of the Persian Gulf state’s economy and the largest liquefaction facility in the world, according to the International Energy Agency.

The Qatari Ministry of Defense said early Thursday that Ras Laffan had been hit by ballistic missiles for a second time, in a strike that QatarEnergy said caused “sizeable fires and extensive further damage.”

Qatar’s rescue department was responding to the fire, the interior ministry said.

Ras Laffan had already sustained “extensive damage” in another strike on Wednesday, QatarEnergy said.

There were no reported casualties from either attack.

The attacks followed a warning by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, saying Iran’s enemies should “await the powerful action” of the country’s armed forces, after blamed the United States and Israel for an attack on Iran’s own fuel and energy infrastructure.
