An Iranian drone struck a major oil storage facility in the United Arab Emirates, causing a fire. The incident is linked to a series of attacks on oil infrastructure in the Gulf. Emirati authorities report no injuries and that the fire is under control. Iran has warned that it considers the UAE's ports as legitimate targets, responding to military operations by Israel and the United States. Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Joint Staff Headquarters stated it has the right to defend its national sovereignty by striking American missiles in UAE ports.
