The Abu Dhabi Police said Monday that a fire has caused the explosion of three petroleum tankers in ICAD 3, Mussafah, near ADNOC's storage tanks.
Three people were killed and six others wounded, state news agency WAM said. It said those killed were two Indians and a Pakistani.
A minor fire also broke out in the new construction site at Abu Dhabi International Airport, police said.
Initial investigations suggest that the cause of the fires are small flying objects, possibly belonging to drones, that fell in the two areas, said a statement.
The competent authorities have launched an investigation.
The two incidents have not caused significant damages, the statement added.
