The Fujairah Emirate Media Office confirmed a large fire in the Fujairah Petroleum Industries area caused by a drone strike, with no injuries reported.
Civil Defense teams in the Emirate immediately responded to the incident and are continuing their efforts to control it, the statement said.
The authorities urged the public not to spread rumors and to obtain information from official sources.
Oil loading operations have been suspended at Fujairah.
Fujairah, located on the Sea of Oman just outside the Strait of Hormuz, is typically a critical exit point for about 1 million barrels per day of the UAE's Murban crude - a volume equivalent to roughly 1% of global demand.
Operations at Fujairah had resumed on Sunday following a separate drone strike over the weekend.
The attacks come as the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran strangles shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that normally handles a fifth of the world's oil supply.
