A fire also broke out at the construction site for the extension of the new airport of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital, which was allegedly caused by a drone, Abu Dhabi police said in a statement carried by WAM.

Ongoing investigations suggest that debris from the drone that crashed at both locations may have caused the explosion and fire.

“Initial investigations found parts of a small aircraft that may be a drone at both locations which could have caused an explosion and fire,” Abu Dhabi police said, adding there was no significant structural damage.
