Fujairah: A fire broke out at Fujairah Port on the eastern coastline of the United Arab Emirates after fragments fell from an unmanned aircraft intercepted by the country's air defenses, the Fujairah government said Tuesday. No injuries were reported, the government's media office added on US social media company X.
According to Anadolu Agency, civil defense teams in Fujairah are responding to the incident and working to contain the fire. Regional tensions have escalated following a significant attack by the US and Israel on Iran on Saturday, which resulted in the deaths of several top Iranian leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In response to the attack, Tehran has launched drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and Gulf countries that host US assets.
