Fujairah port in the UAE has reportedly experienced a new Iranian drone attack, as per Reuters. Satellite images captured by the European Sentinel-3 satellite on March 15 show significant smoke rising from the main oil center in the port, indicating that fires are still burning within the fuel and oil storage facilities. The Fujairah government's media office confirmed that the fire was caused by debris from an intercepted drone, stating that there were no injuries reported from the incident.

In the wake of the drone attack and the resulting fire, operations for oil loading in Fujairah have reportedly been impacted, although official statements have not confirmed any disruptions. Various sources from Reuters and Bloomberg indicate that shipping operations might have ceased following the incident. This has raised concerns about the potential impact on oil supplies in the region, as Fujairah serves as a strategic oil hub, which could affect broader energy markets.

This incident is part of a larger pattern of missile and drone attacks by Iranian forces targeting Gulf and Arab countries since February 28, which Iran claims are aimed at perceived threats to its regional positions and operations. The ongoing tensions in the area elevate the risk of further conflicts that could disrupt not only local operations but also have wider ramifications for global oil supply and geopolitical stability in the Gulf region.
