Abu Dhabi suspended operations at the United Arab Emirates’ largest natural gas processing facility following an attack that sparked a fire, hours after strikes hit key energy infrastructure in Kuwait.

The Habshan gas facility stopped after authorities intercepted the incoming attack and falling debris caused the fire, the Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a post on X. At Habshan, Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. operates the UAE’s main facility for collecting and processing gas from the emirate’s fields and distributing it for domestic use.
