Fuel tankers, Musaffah (ADNOC storage area) — drone attack

17 January 2022

Musaffah, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

What happened

Drones struck three fuel tankers in the Musaffah ICAD 3 industrial area near an ADNOC storage unit in Abu Dhabi, killing three people (one Pakistani, two Indian) and injuring six others; the same wave of strikes, which the Houthis called 'Operation Hurricane,' also set fire to an extension of Abu Dhabi International Airport with no casualties there. Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility, firing what it described as a large number of drones and five missiles.
