TL;DR Summary
UAE officials say Iran launched a barrage of 12 ballistic missiles, 3 cruise missiles and 4 drones at Fujairah, injuring three Indian nationals and setting an oil refinery ablaze, with UAE air defences claiming to have engaged the attacks. Iran’s state TV blamed US adventurism, while Fujairah’s strategic Habshan–Fujairah pipeline and its role as an oil hub amplify the incident’s significance amid broader Gulf tensions and the disputed Strait of Hormuz, where the US has pledged to escort ships. India condemned the attack.
