The United Arab Emirates reported an early Sunday missile and drone attack, with air‑defence systems engaging incoming projectiles over several emirates and authorities urging residents to shelter, as the wider Middle East conflict continued to escalate. Gulf states including Bahrain and Saudi Arabia also reported intercepting aerial threats in the early hours.
Debris from an intercepted Iranian drone struck a major oil facility at the port of Fujairah, sparking a fire and leading authorities to temporarily halt some oil‑loading operations at the strategic export hub — a facility that handles roughly 1 million barrels of crude per day, Reuters reported.
