A British-linked company faced a serious incident in Iraq today following a drone attack. Iraqi news agency Shafaq reported a substantial fire broke out at Castrol’s fuel depots in Erbil. The company, owned by British Petroleum, is currently undergoing a significant shift in ownership.
Recently, Castrol agreed to sell 65 percent of its shares to the American investment firm, Stonepeak, as skynews detailed. A company source, speaking to Shafaq, revealed that a drone entered the facility, triggering a devastating fire. This fire consumed large volumes of oil, resulting in considerable damage.
The situation is being closely monitored, with developments emerging minute by minute, directly linked to the ongoing conflict in Iran. According to the source, thankfully, no personnel were injured at the site during the attack, a detail also reported by skynews. Images circulating on social media depict a building within Erbil, illustrating the scale of the disruption.
