On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, the Panama-flagged oil tanker New Andros was targeted by a drone attack in Iraqi territorial waters. This tanker was transporting 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil when it suddenly faced a serious threat.
Fire and Rescue
Following the attack, rescue teams were quickly dispatched to the scene and, through tireless efforts, succeeded in extinguishing the fire caused by the impact. This incident has once again raised concerns about the security of maritime transport in the region.
Attacks on tankers in these areas not only affect the global oil market but also reflect the increasing tensions in international relations. Given the current situation, we should expect possible reactions from the concerned countries.
