A fire at Fujairah Oil Industry Zone in the United Arab Emirates, which was sparked by falling debris after air defences successfully intercepted a drone, is now under control, Al Jazeera reports citing state media.

The Emirates News Agency (WAM) has written in a brief social media post that the flames are now under control.

The zone flanks the Port of Fujairah and comprises the Middle East’s largest commercial storage capacity for refined oil products, according to its website.
