What happened

QatarEnergy reported extensive damage after a further missile attack at the LNG and gas-processing complex, including Pearl GTL and LNG Trains 4 and 6. The two damaged trains represented 12.8 million tonnes per year, approximately 17% of export capacity, and QatarEnergy estimated repairs would take three to five years. Production had already ceased after the separate 2 March attacks, so this record does not assign a new shutdown percentage to the 18 March strike.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
