On Monday, May 4, 2026, a significant fire broke out at a major UAE oil industry zone in Fujairah after a drone attack attributed to Iran. Civil defense teams responded immediately to control the blaze. Three Indian nationals suffered moderate injuries and required hospitalization.

The UAE Ministry of Defence confirmed that its forces successfully intercepted three Iranian missiles over its territorial waters, while a fourth missile fell into the sea. This event disrupted a period of relative calm in the region, which had started on April 8, 2026, following a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan between Washington and Tehran.

Previously, Fujairah's energy infrastructure had been targeted on March 14, 2026, when a drone attack hit the Port of Fujairah. Fujairah plays a critical role in UAE oil exports, connecting to the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
