Authorities in Dubai have announced that there was no oil spill from a tanker that caught fire following an attack by an Iranian drone. The Al Salmi tanker, which was carrying two million barrels of oil and was docked in Dubai en route to China, was struck in the drone assault, leading to a fire. The Dubai media office has reported that response teams have "successfully managed the situation involving the Kuwaiti oil tanker in Dubai waters, with no leakage of oil and no injuries reported."
