The Fujairah Media Office says efforts are ongoing to put out a fire at the port of Fujairah caused by fallen debris following the interception of a drone.

It also said that a Jordanian citizen had been lightly injured in the incident.

The port of Fujairah is situated just outside the Strait of Hormuz and functions as a key bunkering hub in the UAE, Al Jazeera said.
