QatarEnergy reported a second wave of missile strikes targeting LNG infrastructure in Qatar, causing sizeable fires and extensive additional damage. The attacks follow an earlier strike on Ras Laffan Industrial City on March 18, which had already damaged the Pearl GTL facility. Emergency response teams were deployed promptly, and no casualties have been reported so far. The repeated strikes highlight escalating risks to critical energy infrastructure amid ongoing regional conflict. QatarEnergy said it will continue providing updates as the situation develops and assessments of damage and operational impact continue.
