The United Arab Emirates says a drone attack originating from Iran triggers a fire at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, a major hub for the emirate’s oil exports. Fujairah authorities deploy civil defence teams to contain the blaze, while the UAE defence ministry says it intercepts three Iranian missiles over its waters and reports that a fourth missile falls into the sea. Multiple outlets report that three Indian nationals are moderately injured and taken to hospital.
Iran has not issued an immediate comment on the incident in the available reporting, but some coverage cites Iranian state-linked reporting about strikes and broader developments near the Strait of Hormuz. The reports describe the attack as breaking a period of relative calm in the UAE following a ceasefire between the United States and Iran that took effect on April 8, which paused fighting after more than two months of regional conflict. The UAE also issued warnings about the possibility of missile attacks in response to the situation.
