Dubai: Three Indian nationals were injured in Iranian drone attacks that took place on Monday in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. Iran carried out this drone attack by targeting the Fujairah oil industry zone. The drone attack sparked a fire in the industrial area, and efforts to extinguish it are still underway. UAE emergency response teams are present at the scene and are working to bring the blaze under control. Additionally, Iran also attacked an oil tanker near the UAE port, causing it to catch fire.

Do Efforts to Extinguish Fire Continue?

In a statement, the Fujairah Media Office reported that the three individuals sustained moderate injuries and have been admitted to a hospital for treatment. The office further stated that new information would be shared as it becomes available. Officials confirmed that the fire broke out following a drone attack originating from Iran. The situation at the oil facilities has been described as serious. Civil defense teams were immediately deployed to the site and remain on the scene, working to bring the fire under control.

Did Missile Attack Siren Sound in UAE?
