Qatar says gas export terminal blast killed 13 as workers tried to resume operations

Massive explosion and fire at Qatar’s Barzan gas terminal killed at least 13 people and injured 66 as workers tried to restart operations.
The plant is crucial for local power and desalination and for Qatar’s gas exports, so the blast could ripple through global energy markets.
The incident follows a March Iranian strike on the same industrial area and highlights regional tensions over shared Gulf gas resources — Qatar says the blast was accidental.
