The attacks on the outskirts of the UAE’s capital city of Abu Dhabi caused an explosion and fire as well as killing three people. There were concerns about supply disruptions and escalated hostilities between an Iran-aligned coalition and a Saudi-led alliance.

Houthi rebels warned about more possible attacks on UAE facilities. UAE replied by saying that it would “respond” to such terrorist attacks.

Following an incident at Mussafah’s fuel depot, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company has activated business continuity planning to assure uninterrupted supply for both domestic and international customers.

According to CommSec analysts, colder temperatures in northern hemisphere are supporting oil prices and driving up demand.

Others analysts said that the tight supply/demand balance will not change, and some Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+), producers are having trouble pumping at the maximum capacity.
