The biggest oil refinery at Ruwais in the United Arab Emirates has reportedly halted operations after a drone strike caused a fire in the industrial area in which it’s located.
According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (Adnoc) was assessing damage at the plant.
The Ruwais refinery can process 922,000 barrels of oil a day.
According to Reuters, the refinery has been shut as a precautionary measure, with all other operations at the complex continuing normally.
The Abu Dhabi Media Office said on X that authorities are responding to a fire that broke out at a facility in the Ruwais industrial complex, caused by a drone attack. It said no injuries have been reported at this time.
