Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

What happened

A drone attack caused a fire at a facility within the Ruwais Industrial Complex. Abu Dhabi's media office reported no injuries. A source familiar with operations told Reuters that ADNOC shut the refinery as a precaution while other operations at the complex continued normally. The affected unit, damage and share of the site's refining capacity taken offline were not disclosed, so no shutdown percentage is inferred.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
