These reports prompted alarm in the UAE, but the provided sources do not mention Fujairah specifically.

The Maritime Executive reports that drones struck Omani ports, hitting Duqm's docks and ship-repair facilities and at least one target at Salalah.

Times of Islamabad says Omani officials confirmed multiple drone incidents, including a fuel tank at Duqm that was hit with contained damage and earlier strikes at Duqm that injured one foreign worker.

bdnews24 places these incidents in the context of wider attacks that have also hit neighbouring Arab states and disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Because none of the supplied extracts reference Fujairah, attribution or damage there is unclear from these sources and should not be assumed.

Accounts differ sharply on the scale of damage and on responsibility.

Security consultancy Windward, cited in The Maritime Executive, reported extensive infrastructure damage and identified up to six foreign vessels potentially affected (including one U.S.-flagged ship).

The same piece notes Duqm’s inclusion on a Lloyd’s risk list.

By contrast, Omani officials described only “limited damage to a single fuel tank.”

Times of Islamabad records Iran’s Armed Forces denying responsibility, calling Oman a “friend and neighbor” and rejecting accusations of aggression.

This divergence between independent maritime assessments and official Omani statements, together with Iran’s denials, leaves the factual picture contested in the sources.

Times of Islamabad frames the Duqm/port incidents as part of a wider wave of drone and missile strikes across Gulf states after late‑February US‑Israeli operations against Iran.

“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran has denied any involvement in military strikes against the territory or ports of the Sultanate of Oman, following reports of drone attacks at the Duqm and Salalah ports, Press TV reported”

bdnews24 reports that Washington's Central Command claims to have struck "more than 1,700 Iranian targets" and that Iran has replied with strikes that have hit neighboring states.

Critical Threats documents concurrent escalatory activity on other fronts, including Hezbollah operations in northern Israel and the Golan Heights.

Together, these accounts underscore a region‑wide spike in kinetic incidents following the late‑February operations.

The incidents have produced immediate security, diplomatic and economic measures.

The Maritime Executive reports that Duqm and all Omani seaports were added to the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee risk list and notes Windward’s warning that the threat "could push insurance rates higher for Omani waters."

The U.S. embassy in Muscat issued "shelter-in-place guidance for Duqm and areas around Salalah and barred U.S. government personnel from traveling to those areas," reflecting operational restrictions on diplomats.

bdnews24 records widespread civil disruptions across the region — from airspace closures and evacuations to the UAE’s decision to "extend remote learning nationwide until March 6."

Attribution and intent remain disputed in the available reporting, and international responses are mixed.

“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran has denied any involvement in military strikes against the territory or ports of the Sultanate of Oman, following reports of drone attacks at the Duqm and Salalah ports”

PressTV

Times of Islamabad records that 'Western and Gulf sources... link many of the attacks to Iran,' while the Iranian Armed Forces have denied responsibility and described Oman as a 'friend and neighbor'.

Critical Threats records diplomatic friction, citing Qatar as saying 'there is currently no contact between Qatar and Iran' and rejecting the notion that attacks will 'lead to a return to the negotiating table'.

bdnews24 notes calls for de-escalation from Oman and Russia even as strikes and counterstrikes continue.

These sources collectively show contested attributions, official denials, and active diplomatic alarm without a singular, uncontested factual account in the documents provided.
