CAIRO: A fire broke out after Musaffah fuel tank ​terminal in ⁠the United Arab Emirates was targeted by ‌a drone, without impacting its operations, Abu Dhabi media office ​said on Monday.

"Abu Dhabi authorities have responded today ​to a fire resulting ​from the targeting of a Musaffah fuel tank terminal by a drone. The ⁠situation was promptly contained," the office said.

No injuries were reported.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company operates a facility in Musaffah from which fuel ​is ‌transported by trucks, ⁠while a 1,600-kilometre ⁠pipeline network distributes finished products across the emirate of ​Abu Dhabi.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis targeted ‌the Mussafah Fuel Depot in ⁠2022 during the group's war with the Saudi-led coalition.

Earlier on Monday, Saudi Arabia's state oil giant Aramco shut its Ras Tanura refinery after it was hit by a drone in an apparent escalation on the third day of strikes across the region launched by Tehran ‌in response to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran.

QatarEnergy ⁠also said it was ​halting production of LNG and associated products due to attacks on facilities in Ras Laffan, a source ​with ‌knowledge told Reuters. (Reporting by Menna Alaa ⁠El-Din, Jaidaa Taha ​and Yousef Saba; Editing by Alex Richardson)
