      <title>One dead after fire at UAE gas site from intercepted attack</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330456368/one-dead-after-fire-at-uae-gas-site-from-intercepted-attack</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One person was killed and four others wounded after a fire at a gas complex in Abu Dhabi, caused by falling debris from an intercepted attack on Friday, the government media office said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“One Egyptian national tragically lost his life during the evacuation of the site. In addition, four individuals sustained minor injuries: two Pakistani nationals and two Egyptian nationals,” it said on X.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It also reported “significant damage” at the facilities, the latest fallout of the war in the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities confirmed that two fires erupted at the Habshan Gas Processing Plant following the fall of debris after a successful air defence interception.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Emergency response teams acted swiftly, bringing the situation under control, officials said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities said the fires caused significant damage to the facilities, with assessment operations still underway to determine the full impact.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a separate incident in the Ajban area, falling debris from intercepted threats injured 12 people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities said six Nepalese and five Indian nationals sustained moderate injuries, while one Nepalese national was critically wounded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incidents come days after a similar episode on March 19, when the Habshan facility was temporarily shut following missile debris fallout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No casualties were reported in that incident, though Abu Dhabi’s Bab oil field was also struck the same day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier condemned an Iranian attack targeting key energy infrastructure, including Habshan and the Bab field.&lt;/p&gt;
