A large explosion rocked Qatar’s main natural gas export terminal late last night, injuring at least 54 people and leaving 18 missing. The incident occurred as workers were preparing to restart operations at the facility, which had been temporarily halted following recent attacks from Iran amid wider Middle Eastern conflict. The explosion triggered a significant fire, prompting emergency response efforts. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the blast and assessing the extent of the damage to the terminal. The facility is a crucial component of Qatar’s energy exports, and the disruption could potentially impact global gas supplies. Further updates are expected as search and rescue operations continue and the investigation progresses.
