An oil terminal in the United Arab Emirates city of Fujairah was hit in an aerial attack amid an up-tick of Iranian strikes on Monday in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz.

The strike on the VTTI facility — jointly owned by IFM Global Infrastructure Fund, Vitol Group and Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. — was confirmed by people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. VTTI didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
