The Fujairah oil zone has reportedly been hit by a drone attack, prompting the United Arab Emirates to activate its air defence systems and intercept incoming missiles. The incident highlights growing threats to critical energy infrastructure in one of the world’s most strategically important oil transit regions. Fujairah sits outside the Strait of Hormuz but plays a key role in global energy logistics due to its storage and export facilities.
Analysts warn that any escalation targeting Gulf energy infrastructure could disrupt global oil markets, raise shipping insurance costs, and intensify regional tensions already affecting maritime security. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
