CAIRO, March 17 (Reuters) - Operations at the United

Arab Emirates' Shah gas field remained suspended on Tuesday

following a drone attack, while a fresh attack caused a fire in

the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone.

No injuries were reported in either incident, the local

media offices said.

Separately, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations

(UKMTO) said on Tuesday that an unknown projectile struck a

tanker 23 nautical miles east of Fujairah, causing minor

structural damage.

Monday's attack on the Shah field - located about 180 km

(111.85 miles) southwest of Abu Dhabi and one of the world's

largest sour gas fields - adds to disruptions to the UAE's

energy sector.

The country's daily oil output isdown by more than half

since the conflict broke out, with the effective closure of the

Strait of Hormuz forcing state oil giant ADNOC to implement

widespread production shut-ins, two sources told Reuters.

Oil loading operations at the UAE's port of Fujairah, a key

export terminal, were suspended twice in recent days following

separate drone attack incidents, although some loading has since

resumed, sources said.

Gulf Arab states, including the UAE, have faced more than

2,000 missile and drone attacks since the start of the

U.S.-Israeli war on Iran on Feb. 28, targeting U.S. diplomatic

missions and military bases as well as oil infrastructure,

ports, airports and residential and commercial buildings.
