Dubai Abu Dhabi news LIVE: 1 killed after debris from intercepted missile falls in Abu Dhabi's Bani Yas area A Pakistani national died after debris from an intercepted ballistic missile fell in Abu Dhabi’s Bani Yas area on Tuesday. The United Arab Emirates confirmed its air defense systems had responded to a missile threat, with explosions also reported in Dubai and Doha, Qatar. Authorities stated the incident occurred as part of ongoing efforts to counter regional threats. Earlier in the day, a fire broke out in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone following a drone attack, though no injuries were reported. Civil defense teams worked to control the blaze, which occurred in a region critical to UAE energy exports. Fujairah, located along the Gulf of Oman, has become a focal point due to its strategic importance and recent attacks targeting infrastructure. The UAE also suspended operations at the Shah gas field after a drone strike, with another attack triggering a fire in the same area. The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported that an unidentified projectile struck a tanker 23 nautical miles east of Fujairah, causing minor structural damage. These incidents have further disrupted the UAE’s energy sector, which has faced multiple attacks in recent months. Meanwhile, Gulf states have intensified pressure on the United States to take stronger action against Iran, citing ongoing threats to regional security. Reports indicate Iran has escalated its attacks on energy infrastructure, including oil facilities and gas fields, contributing to a decline in global oil exports. Analysts warn that the conflict could have long-term economic repercussions, with energy prices and supply chains under increasing strain.#united_arab_emirates #abu_dhabi #fujairah #bani_yas #shah_gas_field
