Iranian drone strikes Fujairah Oil Industries Zone; major fire, oil operations suspended

Details

An Iranian drone struck the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone early Monday morning, triggering a major fire. Civil Defense teams in the emirate immediately responded and worked to contain the blaze. Oil loading operations at the strategic port — one of the world's top hubs for storing crude and fuels — were temporarily suspended. No injuries were reported. Fujairah sits at the end of the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline (ADCOP), which bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, making it a critical chokepoint alternative. This is the second drone attack to hit Fujairah's oil infrastructure during the conflict, following a March 14 strike that also briefly halted operations.
