Drone attack on oil refinery in United Arab Emirates

The most significant Iranian attack so far on Tuesday was a drone strike on the United Arab Emirates' Ruwais Industrial Complex - home to the largest refinery in the Middle East.

The Abu Dhabi Media Office said a fire broke out and no injuries were reported. No further details were given.

Reuters and AFP news agencies said sources had told them the refinery had halted operations as a precaution.

Abu Dhabi's state-owned oil company, ADNOC, runs the site, which can produce 922,000 barrels of oil per day.

Meanwhile, eight ballistic missiles were intercepted along with 26 drones on Tuesday, according to the defense ministry. It said nine drones passed through air defenses.

The country has now changed its national early warning system so that alerts sent at night to mobile phones are much quieter./CNA, translated by BBC
