Iranian Missile and Drone Barrage Hits Fujairah Oil Zone
The United Arab Emirates reported that its air defenses intercepted a barrage of 12 ballistic missiles and three cruise missiles launched from Iran late on Monday and early Tuesday. Despite these efforts, an Iranian drone strike successfully hit an oil facility in the Fujairah industrial zone, causing a significant fire and injuring at least three people. Iran’s military denied involvement, but the incident has severely tested a fragile four-week regional ceasefire amid rising tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
