Local officials in the United Arab Emirates reported that a drone attack caused a fire at a large oil industrial area in Fujairah, located on the country's eastern coast. The incident occurred near the Gulf of Oman, close to the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments. Authorities in Fujairah confirmed that no casualties had been reported following the attack.

Fujairah serves as a critical exit point for the UAE’s oil exports, making it one of the most important energy hubs in the region. The report did not specify who was responsible for the drone strike or the extent of the damage caused by the fire.

Officials have not released further details about the response or potential disruptions to oil operations, leaving the broader impact of the incident unclear.
