The satellite showed the consequences of strikes on oil reserves in the UAE
Soar Atlas satellite images have recorded the effects of strikes on oil reservoirs in the emirate of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Footage of the shooting on March 6 was posted on the company's page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
The footage shows that two tanks are on fire, and black smoke is rising into the sky. Workers pour water over other containers to cool them. One tank was completely destroyed.
According to Bloomberg, the port of Fujairah, one of the world's largest centers for the storage and transshipment of oil and petroleum products, was attacked by Iran on March 3. After that, Vopak suspended the operation of the terminal, and the oil refinery was also shut down.
The UAE authorities said the fire was caused by falling debris after a drone attack. There are no casualties, the civil defense forces continue to extinguish the fire. 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.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation in Iran. US President Donald Trump called it the goal of protecting the American people. 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.
