Iranian drones struck an oil terminal in the UAE port of Fujairah, setting off a fire.
Iranian drones struck an oil terminal in the port of Fujairah (UAE). The attack sent thick plumes of black smoke billowing over the port.
Emergency services arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire, and authorities are assessing the damage. The port is reportedly one of the world's largest oil storage and bunkering centers after Singapore.
The Port of Fujairah is located outside the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman, making it a strategically important energy hub that allows oil exports to bypass the strait.
Some oil loading operations at the port of Fujairah were suspended after a drone attack and a fire, Bloomberg sources said.
