Civil defence teams battled the blaze as the UAE said three Indian nationals were injured and its air defenses intercepted missiles and drones.

  • President Donald Trump warned Iran on Monday against targeting U.S. naval escorts in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening Iran would be "blown off the face of the Earth" if it attacked vessels involved in "Project Freedom."
  • Three Indian nationals sustained moderate injuries in attacks near Fujairah, where a drone strike ignited a fire at an oil facility confirmed by the Indian Embassy to local authorities.
  • The UAE Ministry of Defence reported 227 total injuries and 10 civilian fatalities since the conflict began, affirming it will "firmly confront anything that aims to undermine the security of the country."
  • Iranian state broadcaster IRIB reported officials denied intent to strike oil facilities, claiming the incident stemmed from U.S. "illegal passage" efforts through the Strait of Hormuz and calling for Washington to be held accountable.
