US EditionThree Indian citizens wounded in Iranian drone attack on UAE oil facility
- On Monday, May 4, 2026, a drone attack originating from Iran struck the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone in the United Arab Emirates, injuring three Indian citizens as civil defense teams contained the resulting blaze.

- Separately, the UAE military intercepted three Iranian missiles over its waters while Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy issued a map claiming expanded control near the Strait of Hormuz, encompassing Fujairah and Khorfakkan.
- UAE authorities issued mobile phone alerts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi warning of potential missile attacks, while Fujairah remains critical to energy exports via the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
- United States Central Command head Admiral Brad Cooper announced operations to free up shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, saying he 'strongly advised' Iranian forces to remain clear of U.S. military assets.
