The dead were one Pakistani and two Indians, the UAE's official news agency WAM confirmed.
Unverified footage on social media showed a thick plume of black smoke billowing from what appeared to be Musaffah. In response, police closed the road leading to the area.

"Initial investigations found parts of a small plane that could possibly be a drone at both sites that could have caused the explosion and the fire," Abu Dhabi police said, affirming that there was no significant damage.
In the same vein, Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels said they would soon make a statement about "a special military operation that was carried out in the heart of the UAE," the Houthi-owned Al Masirah TV channel reported.
