The \u200bministry did not give \u200bthe exact location of the explosion, \u200cbut \u2060a source with knowledge of the matter said it occurred at the Barzan gas \u200bplant \u200bin \u2060Ras Laffan and was due to an “operational error”.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Qatar Energy confirmed that in the evening hours of\u00a0Sunday 21 June 2026, there was an operational incident during the start-up of operations at Ras Laffan Industrial City which resulted in an explosion and fire at Barzan local gas supply facility.
