Dubai: Smoke was rising from the direction of a major UAE energy installation on Saturday, in what appeared to be the latest strike targeting the Gulf's petroleum facilities -- hours after the US struck Iran's Kharg Island oil hub.
Clouds of dark black smoke were seen coming from Fujairah, which is home to a major port where Iranian attacks have already targeted an oil storage and trading hub. The port is also home to a major oil export terminal.
Local authorities, in an online statement, said debris falling after a successful drone interception had caused a fire, without specifying the location.
