Fujairah unaffected by Oman oil spill
Fujairah Environment Authority has confirmed that the emirate's coasts and waters have not been affected so far by the oil spill spreading off the coast of Oman. They indicated that there have been no official reports or alerts regarding pollution reaching their waters. Environmental monitoring and surveillance teams are working around the clock to track the situation and respond to the oil leak, which has extended to parts of the Omani coastline. Authorities are taking measures to control the damage. Meanwhile, Oman is working to contain the spill with rescue teams and equipped vessels, facing challenges posed by the monsoon winds, after an oil tanker carrying approximately 800,000 barrels of Russian oil suffered an incident during its journey from Russia to India, with potential for explosions or fire onboard. Greenpeace estimates that the oil spill has covered an area of about 1,300 square kilometers, although Omani authorities have not officially confirmed this figure.
