A fire broke out in Fujairah’s Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ) early on 3 March, which was caused by debris falling due to drone interceptions by the UAE’s air defenses.
The Media Office responded to concerns about loud sounds heard across various parts of the city, and stated that relevant authorities had responded to the blaze and brought it under control.
No injuries were reported during the incident, and normal operations in the affected area have since resumed, the Media Office said.
The authorities also urged the public to seek information from official state sources and to refrain from spreading rumors or unverified information. Meanwhile, relevant teams are continuing to monitor the situation and taking necessary measures to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
This is the first such incident reported in Fujairah. Ras Al Khaimah authorities also reported a drone debris falling incident in a residential area for the first time on 2 March.
