Several heavy explosions occurred early on Sunday in the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, a number of media reports say. Local media reports, citing eyewitnesses, suggested that American and French warplanes have been seen flying over the port at the time of the incident.
At the same time, the real cause of the blasts is still unknown. The reports further say that the explosion occurred after at least between seven and ten oil tankers had been caught on fire.101/213
