Earlier, the competent authorities in Fujairah successfully brought under control a fire that broke out earlier in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, which resulted from falling debris following the successful interception of a drone by air defence systems.

The media office urged the public to obtain information from the country’s official and accredited sources, stressing the importance of avoiding the circulation of rumours or unverified information.
