Dhabba Oil Terminal
Dhabba Oil Terminal (Arabic: ميناء الضبة) is a key Yemeni oil port. It lies western of Ash-Shihr town in Yemen's eastern Hadramawt on the Arabian Sea. The Dhabba Oil Terminal is mainly used to export oil and gas from Hadramawt governorate.
October 2022 attack
[edit]On 21 October 2022 the terminal was targeted with drones for the first time by Yemen's rebel Houthi movement.[1][2] The Yemeni government said it intercepted Houthi armed drones launched against al-Dhabba oil terminal when a Greek-owned oil tanker "Nissos" was preparing to dock to load 2 million barrels of crude from the terminal.[3] There was no damage to the port and the tanker, but the Greek company said the attack targeted a Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, the Nissos Kea.[1]
