Operations at the United Arab Emirates' Shah ‌gas field remained suspended on Tuesday following a drone attack, while a fresh attack caused a fire in the Fujairah Oil Industry ​Zone. No injuries were reported in either incident, international media reports

Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade ⁠Operations (UKMTO) said on Tuesday that an unknown projectile struck a ​tanker 23 nautical miles east of Fujairah, causing minor structural ​damage.

Monday's attack on the Shah field, located about 180 km (111.85 miles) southwest of Abu Dhabi and one of the world's largest sour gas fields - adds to ​disruptions to the UAE's energy sector.

The country's daily oil output is down ​by more than half since the conflict broke out, with the effective closure of ‌the ⁠Strait of Hormuz forcing state oil giant ADNOC to implement widespread production shut-ins, two sources told Reuters.

Oil loading operations at the UAE's port of Fujairah, a key export terminal, were suspended twice ​in recent days ​following separate ⁠drone attack incidents, although some loading has since resumed, sources said.

Gulf Arab states, including the ​UAE, have faced more than 2,000 missile ​and drone ⁠attacks since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran on Feb. 28, targeting U.S. diplomatic missions and military bases ⁠as ​well as oil infrastructure, ports, airports ​and residential and commercial buildings.
