The UAE’s Defence Ministry and state news agency on Monday (May 4, 2026) said a fresh Iranian barrage had targeted the country following multiple alerts from authorities warning people to take cover.

“Four cruise missiles launched from Iran were detected toward various areas across the country. Three were successfully engaged over the country’s territorial waters, while one fell in the sea,” the Defence Ministry said on social media.

Some oil loading ​operations have been ⁠suspended in the United Arab Emirates’ Fujairah emirate, a ‌major bunkering hub, two industry ‌sources said, after a ‌fire ⁠broke out ⁠there on Saturday (March 14, 2026).

The fire occurred after debris fell ​during the ‌interception of a drone, but no injuries were reported, the emirate’s ‌media office said.

Civil defence ​forces are handling the incident to ⁠contain the fire, it added.

Authorities did not provide ‌any information about the reported suspension of operations.

Bloomberg News earlier reported that some oil-loading operations in ‌the port of Fujairah, ​outside the Strait of Hormuz, had been ⁠suspended after a drone ⁠attack and fire.
