Fujairah: Authorities in the Emirate of Fujairah said they responded on Tuesday morning to a fire that broke out in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone (FOIZ) after debris fell following the successful interception of a drone by air defence systems.

According to the Media Office of Government of Fujairah, no injuries were reported. The fire was brought under control, and normal operations in the area have since resumed.

Fujairah authorities urged the public to obtain information from official state sources and to avoid circulating rumours or unverified information.
