BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 9. Bapco Energies, a
key energy company in Bahrain, has declared a force majeure on its
group operations, Trend reports.
The declaration of force majeure, a legal clause that releases
parties from liability for failing to fulfill obligations due to
events beyond their control, follows reports of thick smoke rising
near the location of Bapco’s oil refinery.
The statement comes after a drone attack launched from Iran
caused injuries and damage in the Sitra region. Bapco’s refinery is
one of Bahrain’s most important energy facilities, playing a
critical role in the country’s oil processing and overall energy
sector.
