Authorities in Abu Dhabi confirmed a fire at the Ruwais Industrial Complex was contained after a drone strike, marking a significant shift toward targeting commercial infrastructure. This escalation coincides with reported airstrikes near Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport and a worsening conflict in Lebanon that has displaced over 850,000 people.
