Abu Dhabi Halts Operations At Main Gas Plant After "Falling Debris" From Iranian Strike
Operations at Habshan, the UAE's massive onshore gas-processing hub operated by ADNOC Gas in Abu Dhabi, were halted on Friday after local authorities said a fire broke out at the facility due to "falling debris" from a "successful interception by air defense systems" of an Iranian air-delivered munition.
