UAE's Fujairah port comes under attack again, operations suspended
Oil loading operations at the eastern Fujairah port of United Arab Emirates (UAE) were suspended on Monday after a drone attack sparked a fire in the emirate's petroleum industrial zone, two sources told Reuters news agency.
"A large fire broke out in the Fujairah Oil Industries Zone as a result of being targeted by a drone, with no injuries reported," Fujairah authorities said.
Civil defense teams were working to contain the blaze and no casualties were reported, the Fujairah government's media office said.
Fujairah, on the Gulf of Oman outside the Strait of Hormuz, is a key export hub for the UAE's Murban crude. The city is the capital of the emirate of the same name, which is one of the UAE's seven emirates, with the two most populous being Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The disruption follows as operations at Fujairah had resumed on Sunday after another drone strike over the weekend.
