Authorities in Abu Dhabi suspended operations at the Habshan gas facilities after debris from an intercepted missile struck the site, the media office said.

Emergency crews responded to a fire at the facility, with no injuries reported, the Abu Dhabi Media Office said on the US social media platform X.

The incident followed a successful interception by air defense systems, which led to falling debris at the site.

Regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets​​​​​​​.
