AFP reports that a drone has struck a fuel tank terminal in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi and caused a fire, though operations have not been impacted, authorities say, as Iran strikes more oil facilities on its third day of Gulf attacks.

“Abu Dhabi authorities have responded today to a fire resulting from the targeting of a Musaffah fuel tank terminal by a drone. The situation was promptly contained. No injuries were reported and there was no impact on operations,” the Abu Dhabi Media Office has said in a statement.
