UAE’s Fujairah oil trading hub targeted by a drone attack, causing large fire
CNBC
It comes after a separate drone strike at Fujairah on Saturday, underlining the vulnerability of the UAE's only export route that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
A drone attack at the United Arab Emirates' key oil trading hub of Fujairah triggered a large fire, authorities said on Monday, with no injuries reported.
"Civil Defense teams in the Emirate immediately responded to the incident and are continuing their efforts to control it," Fujairah Media Office said on social media, according to a Google translation.
Oil loading operations at the major oil bunkering hub had been suspended as a result of the drone attack, Reuters reported, citing two unnamed sources. CNBC has contacted the UAE's ADNOC and is awaiting a response.
