Despite the targeted nature of the attack, authorities have confirmed that there were "no casualties" as a result of the strike. In an immediate response to the outbreak, "emergency teams" were dispatched to the area. These units remain on-site and are currently "dealing with the incident" to contain the situation at the critical regional hub.

Reporting on the ground operations, Gulf News noted that "Civil Defence teams in the emirate immediately began responding to the incident" as soon as the alarm was raised. Specialist crews "are continuing their efforts to bring the fire under control" and prevent the flames from spreading further through the facility.

As the Fujairah government continues to monitor developments, local authorities urged the public not to circulate rumours regarding the event on social media platforms. To ensure the dissemination of accurate facts, the government has issued a stern advisory for the community to obtain information only from official sources.

The impact of the regional instability on maritime trade was further highlighted by an official press release issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas yesterday. The ministry reported that an Indian-flagged vessel, 'Jag Laadki', sailed safely from Fujairah Single Point Mooring after the Fujairah oil terminal was attacked earlier while loading crude oil.

"On March 14, 2026, while the Indian-flag vessel Jag Laadki was loading crude oil at the Fujairah Single Point Mooring, the Fujairah oil terminal was attacked. The vessel sailed safely from Fujairah at 1030 hrs IST today (on Sunday), carrying about 80,800 MT of Murban crude oil and is bound for India. The vessel and all Indian seafarers onboard are safe," the press release said.
