Three indian citizens were moderately wounded in an Iranian drone attack on Fujairah's oil industry complex in the United Arab Emirates, Fujairah's media office said on Monday.
Earlier on Monday, the UAE Defense Ministry announced it had intercepted three missiles, with a fourth missile falling into the sea.
The incident occured as a fire broke out in the engine room of a cargo ship 36 km north of Dubai, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center (UKMTO) said.
Iranian state television later reported, citing a military official, that Iran had no premeditated plan to attack oil facilities in Fujairah.
What happened at the port was a result of the "US military's adventurism to create passage for illegal ship transit" through the Strait of Hormuz, added the official, according to Iranian state media.
The UAE's Defense Ministry confirmed that it confronted 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles, and four drones fired by Iran on Monday.
UKMTO: Cause of fire unknown
The ship's crew is unharmed, the UKMTO said, adding that the cause of the fire is still unknown.
Also on Monday, a South Korean ship sailing near the Strait of Hormuz was attacked, according to the Korean media outlet Chosun Daily, citing a government official.
