On May 4, 2026, three Indian workers were injured after a drone and missile attack allegedly launched from Iran sparked a fire at the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone (FOIZ) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The names of the victims were not found among local sources.
The Fujairah Government Media Office said in a statement that the three civilian victims “sustained moderate injuries” and were transported to a hospital for treatment. Civil Defence teams responded to contain the fire, which broke out in the major oil industry zone following the attack. The Indian Embassy in the UAE also posted on X, saying that they were in touch with authorities to “ensure adequate medical care and welfare of the affected Indian nationals.”
Photos of the incident show large plumes of dark smoke rising over the horizon at sunset, as posted by Yazan Kanaan, Majid Al-Atabi, and Save Jammu. A video posted by Soifian Abdullah shows a fire blazing at the Fujairah port at night.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all attributed the strike to the Iranian military. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a statement saying it “holds Iran fully responsible for these unprovoked attacks and their repercussions.” It further condemned the renewed “unprovoked Iranian attacks targeting civilian sites and facilities,” adding that “targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is unequivocally condemned and rejected under all legal and humanitarian norms.”
