Three Indian nationals were injured on May 4, 2026, after a drone attack from Iran struck the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone (FOIZ) in the United Arab Emirates, causing a fire at the facility, the UAE's state-run WAM news agency reported. The attack occurred in the eastern emirate of Fujairah, a key hub for oil storage and distribution.

UAE authorities confirmed the drone originated from Iran and that emergency crews responded to contain the blaze at the industrial site. WAM did not provide details on the extent of the damage or the condition of the injured, but stated that security forces had activated response protocols.

The incident comes amid escalating regional tensions following recent strikes by Israel and U.S. forces on Iranian targets. The UAE has previously condemned cross-border attacks affecting its territory and called for de-escalation.

The Fujairah facility is outside the Strait of Hormuz and is one of the largest bunkering ports in the world. Authorities are assessing the site for damage and have increased surveillance in the area. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs is expected to issue a formal statement Tuesday.
