Fujairah oil zone hit by fire after drone attack, UAE intercepts Iran missiles

Fire broke out at a major UAE oil industry zone on Monday after a drone attack originating from Iran, authorities said, as the Gulf state's military separately

intercepted three Iranian missiles over its waters and a fourth crashed into the sea.



Civil defence teams were deployed immediately to contain the blaze at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, the Fujairah Media Office said in a statement, adding that three Indian citizens were moderately injured in the attack and taken to hospital.



The UAE defence ministry said on X that its forces had intercepted three missiles, with a fourth falling into the sea.



Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy issued a map it said showed an expansion of areas under Iranian control near the Strait of Hormuz, encompassing the UAE ports of Fujairah and Khorfakkan as well as the coast of the Umm Al Quwain emirate, Iranian news agencies reported.
