Several Iranian drones attacked oil storage facilities in the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates on March 14. A fire broke out at the site, according to CNN and Turkiye today.

Emergency services arrived at the scene to extinguish the fire, and authorities are assessing the damage. The port is reportedly one of the world's largest oil storage and bunkering centers after Singapore.

The port of Fujairah is located outside the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman, making it a strategically important energy center that allows oil to be exported bypassing the Strait.
