Drone Strike Ignites Fire at Key UAE Oil Hub, Halting All Loading Operations

Deep News03-14 19:40

A key Middle Eastern trading hub in the UAE has completely suspended its oil loading operations following a drone strike and subsequent fire on Saturday morning, according to informed sources.

As a precautionary measure, the port of Fujairah, located just outside the Strait of Hormuz, has halted the loading of both crude oil and refined products while an assessment of the damage is underway, the sources said. The individuals requested anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media.

In a statement, the Fujairah Media Office confirmed that a drone was intercepted in the area, and falling debris from the incident started a fire. The office reported no casualties but did not specify the exact location of the event.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), which exports crude oil from Fujairah port, and the port authorities have not yet responded to requests for comment.
