Bloomberg reported on the strike on the Fujairah oil port in the UAE
The port of Fujairah, one of the world's largest centers for the storage and transshipment of oil and petroleum products, has been attacked by Iran. This was reported on March 3 by the Bloomberg news agency.
It is noted that after an Iranian drone strike on an oil depot on the shore of the Gulf of Oman, Vopak suspended the operation of the terminal, and the refinery was also shut down.
The authorities of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said that the fire was caused by falling debris after a drone attack. There are no casualties, the civil defense forces continue to extinguish the fire.
Fujairah is a key oil storage and trading hub in the Middle East and a strategic alternative export route for the UAE, thanks to a pipeline connecting the emirate to Abu Dhabi's oil fields.
According to the latest data, the number of victims of strikes in the UAE has increased to 68, and at least three people have died. A total of 186 missiles were launched in the direction of the UAE, and only one landed in the country.

Israel and the United States have carried out numerous attacks on military and civilian targets in Iran, including a school in the city of Minab.
