Bahrain’s Bapco Energies has announced force majeure on group operations, according to state media, APA reports citing Al Jazeera.
Force majeure is a clause that frees parties from liability if any failure to meet supply obligations is due to events beyond their control.
The announcement comes after thick smoke was reportedly seen rising from the direction of the Bapco oil refinery in the country.
A witness quoted by Reuters said smoke surrounded the facility after the government earlier said injuries and damage were sustained in the Sitra area as a result of an Iranian drone attack.
Bapco is Bahrain’s main oil refinery and a key facility in the country’s energy sector.
