Authorities in Abu Dhabi said Sunday they were battling multiple fires at a petrochemical facility caused by falling debris after air defenses intercepted aerial threats, as Iran pressed an ongoing campaign against Gulf nations.

“Authorities are responding to multiple fires in Borouge petrochemicals plant, caused by falling debris following successful interceptions by air defence systems,” the emirate’s media office said in a statement.

Operations at the facility were immediately suspended while damage was being assessed, the statement said, adding that no injuries had been reported.

Earlier, the United Arab Emirates’ Ministry of Defense said its air defenses were responding to missile and drone attacks originating from Iran.

“UAE air defenses are actively engaging with missiles and UAV threats,” the ministry said in a post on X, alongside an Arabic statement confirming that projectiles were coming from Iran.

The ministry added that sounds heard across the country were the result of ongoing engagements with missiles and drones.

Iran’s army said it was targeting “aluminium industries” in the UAE and U.S. military infrastructure in Kuwait, according to the official IRNA news agency.

Tehran has accused Gulf states of allowing U.S. forces to launch attacks from their territory, an allegation repeatedly denied by regional governments, which have said they would not permit their land or airspace to be used against Iran.

Gulf nations have faced sustained retaliatory strikes since the United States and Israel launched attacks in late February, triggering a broader regional conflict.

The UAE, a close U.S. ally, normalized relations with Israel in 2020 alongside Bahrain and has been a frequent target of missile and drone attacks since Feb. 28.
