India strongly condemned a drone strike-linked fire at the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone in the United Arab Emirates on May 4, 2026, which injured three Indian nationals. The attack reportedly originated from Iran amid escalating regional tensions. Responding to the incident, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal termed the strike “unacceptable” and called for an immediate halt to hostilities. India emphasised that civilian infrastructure and innocent lives must not be targeted under any circumstances. The incident underscores growing risks to Indian nationals abroad as instability linked to the wider US-Iran conflict continues to spill into critical Gulf infrastructure zones.
