A drone strike hit an oil industry zone near UAE’s Fujairah Port on Monday, triggering a fire in the area just days after a similar attack took place in the Gulf nation’s key important energy hubs.
There have been no casualties reported so far, said the Fujairah media office.
This port is country’s UAE’s only export route that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, say agencies.
Fujairah remains one of the UAE’s most critical energy hubs, primarily because it is located outside the Strait of Hormuz. The port serves as a major crude export terminal, handling around 1 million barrels per day of the UAE’s Murban crude oil which equivalent to nearly 1% of global oil demand.
This is a developing story. We will update with further information.
