DUBAI: Iran attacked vital infrastructure around the Gulf on Sunday, causing damage to civilian facilities in the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Iran has responded to US and Israeli operations that started at the end of February by repeatedly launching drone and missile salvos at Gulf nations in recent weeks. Following an air defense interception, debris struck a petrochemical factory in Ruwais Industrial City on the northwest coast of the United Arab Emirates, causing three fires to break out.
The media office in Abu Dhabi stated, “Authorities are responding to multiple fires in the Borouge petrochemicals plant, caused by falling debris following successful interceptions by air defense systems. The facility’s operations have been immediately halted while the damage is evaluated.” After the UAE’s defense ministry had earlier stated that it was reacting to drone and missile assaults, it continued, “No injuries have been reported.
Later in the day, an update stated that damage had been noted at the location and was being evaluated. Authorities in the Sharjah emirate of the United Arab Emirates announced on Sunday night that they were handling an incident at the port of Khor Fakkan in the Gulf of Oman.
