ABU DHABI: One Egyptian citizen was killed and four people suffered minor injuries after debris from an intercepted attack fell on Abu Dhabi’s Habshan gas facilities on Friday, Abu Dhabi’s media office said.
The Egyptian was killed during the evacuation of the site, while four others — two Egyptians and two Pakistanis — sustained minor injuries, the media office said.
“Significant damage has occurred at the facilities and an assessment is ongoing,” it said in a post on X.
“As part of the ongoing follow up to the previously reported incident at Habshan gas facilities, caused by falling debris following the successful interception by air defence systems, authorities confirm that two fires broke out and emergency response teams acted swiftly to bring the situation under control.
“The public is advised to obtain information only from official sources and to avoid spreading rumours or unverified information,” the media office added.
