A suspected Iranian drone strike triggered a large fire at the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, one of the world’s key oil storage and bunkering hubs. The attack reportedly hit or caused debris to fall near oil storage facilities, sending thick smoke into the sky and forcing the suspension of some oil-loading operations. Emergency services quickly responded and worked to contain the blaze, with officials reporting no immediate casualties. The incident comes amid escalating tensions in the Iran–Israel War 2026 and threats against Gulf energy infrastructure. Analysts warn the attack highlights growing risks to global oil supply routes and energy markets. (PC: X)
