Smoke could be seen rising from the direction of a major UAE energy installation on March 14, in what appeared to be the latest strike targeting the Gulf’s petroleum facilities hours after the U.S. struck Iran’s Kharg Island. | Photo Credit: AFP Some oil loading operations have been suspended in the United Arab Emirates’ Fujairah emirate, a major bunkering hub, two industry sources said, after a fire broke out there on Saturday (March 14, 2026). The fire occurred after debris fell during the interception of a drone, but no injuries were reported, the emirate’s media office said. Civil defence forces are handling the incident to contain the fire, it added. Authorities did not provide any information about the reported suspension of operations. Bloomberg News earlier reported that some oil-loading operations in the port of Fujairah, outside the Strait of Hormuz, had been suspended after a drone attack and fire.
