Oil spill affects 12 km of Oman coast, Masirah unaffected, state news agency says
Reuters2026/08/15 12:05Aug 15 (Reuters) - Oil pollution is affecting about 12 kilometres (7.46 miles) of coastline near Oman's Ras Madraka, while Masirah Island remains unaffected, state news agency ONA said on Saturday after efforts to tackle a spill from a leaking tanker have made progress.
Oil began reaching Oman's coast on Wednesday after spreading at sea for weeks.
The Environment Authority said response operations were under way and the offshore slick was moving towards open waters.
