Oil loading suspended at UAE’s Fujairah port after drone attack

Oil loading operations have been suspended at the UAE’s Fujairah port after a drone attack sparked a fire in the emirate’s petroleum industrial zone, two sources told Reuters.

Civil defense teams were working to control the blaze and no casualties were reported, the Fujairah government media office said.

Fujairah, located on the Gulf of Oman just outside the Strait of Hormuz, is a key export point for about 1 million barrels per day of the UAE’s Murban crude.
