Three Indians injured in UAE after Iran's attack

Three Indian nationals injured in Fujairah, UAE after Iran's missile and drone attack. UAE condemns aggression, reserves right to respond.

"The UAE holds Iran fully responsible for these unprovoked attacks and their repercussions. - UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs"

Abu Dhabi, May 5

The Indian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates has said that three Indian nationals have been injured in "today's attacks in Fujairah".

The Embassy said that it is in touch with local authorities to ensure adequate medical care and welfare of the affected Indian nationals.

The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the "renewed unprovoked Iranian aggression" using missiles and drones.

The Ministry also confirmed that three Indian nationals were injured due to the results of Iran's attack on civilian sites and facilities.

The Ministry called the actions of Iran an "unacceptable act of aggression" and a "direct threat to the UAE's security, stability and territorial integrity".

It said the attacks are in violation of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.

The Ministry emphasises that the UAE will not tolerate any threat to its security and sovereignty under any circumstances, and that the UAE reserves its full and legitimate right to respond to these unprovoked attacks in a manner that ensures the protection of its sovereignty, national security, territorial integrity, and the safety of its citizens, residents, and visitors, in accordance with international law.

It stressed the need to immediately halt these attacks and ensure full compliance with the cessation of all hostilities.

"The UAE holds Iran fully responsible for these unprovoked attacks and their repercussions," the statement said.

The UAE's Ministry of Defence on Monday reported that it detected four cruise missiles launched from Iran towards various areas across the country.

The Ministry reported that the sounds heard in scattered areas of the country are the result of successful interception of the aerial threats.

UAE's National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) on X said that "Air defence systems are currently responding to a missile threat. Please remain in a safe location and follow official channels for warnings and updates".

The authority also asked the people not to approach, touch or photograph any fragments or objects that have fallen as a result of successful air interceptions, and allow the relevant authorities to assess the situation.

Why does India always get dragged into other people's fights? Our workers go abroad to earn a living, not to become casualties of someone else's war. The government should issue a travel advisory and ensure compensation for the injured. Enough is enough.

Iran's aggression is unacceptable. They attacked civilian areas - that's a war crime. The UAE is a friend of India, and we stand with them. But I also worry about the Indian diaspora there - over 3 million of us! The government must urgently assess the situation and be ready for evacuation if needed.

I have family in Dubai. This is terrifying. The UAE's air defenses did a great job intercepting those missiles, but one slip-up and we could have seen a much worse tragedy. India should use its diplomatic channels to call for restraint from both sides. We need peace, not more conflict in the Middle East.

A very sad day. Three Indians injured - this hits close to home. The UAE has always welcomed Indian workers with open arms, and now they're paying the price for regional tensions. I hope the injured recover fully. And I hope our leaders are working behind the scenes to protect our citizens abroad.

This is what happens when nations play with fire. My heart goes out to the injured. India should send a medical team to Fujairah immediately. Also, the UAE government must take this seriously - their statement is strong, but actions matter more. We cannot have Indian lives endangered like this.
