Satellite images show an expanding oil spill off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, prompting authorities to restrict access to more beaches. The spilled oil is approaching the coast of Umm Al Quwain in the northern UAE. The UAE Ministry of Environment stated on Friday that efforts are underway to control the spill but did not specify the cause. Reuters cited analysts suggesting that the "Gem No 2" tanker, which was hit by an unidentified projectile last month, could be the source of the leak.
