The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) biggest port and oil storage facility, Fujairah, and Dubai's international airport have come under further drone attacks as Iran continues to target Gulf transport and oil infrastructure. Flights were temporarily suspended on Monday after a fire broke out near the airport following a 'drone-related incident'. A fire also raged after a drone attack on the strategically important port and industrial zone at Fujairah, one of the largest oil storage facilities in the region. A rocket attack on a car killed a Palestinian national on the outskirts of the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, the city's Media Office reported. The attack occurred in the Al Bahia area, it said. UAE air defence systems intercepted six ballistic missiles and 21 drones on Monday. Iran has launched over 1,900 missiles and drones at the UAE since the war between the US and Israel, and Iran began. Monday's drone strike was the third incident since the start of the war near Dubai's airport, which is the world's busiest for international passengers. Some flights were delayed, while others were cancelled altogether, in another hit to the UAE's image of safety and stability. The country's energy sector came under attack, with a drone hitting an oil storage tanker and facilities on Monday, causing fires. Oil loading activities at Fujairah port were halted temporarily while damage assessments were carried out. Fujairah sits on the UAE's eastern coast and is strategically important for maintaining oil shipments when other routes are threatened. Analysts suggest that Iran's actions aim to disrupt energy flow from the region, capitalizing on vulnerabilities in Gulf infrastructure. Despite the unrest, local sentiments reflect resilience and optimism for recovery amid the conflict.
