1st LD Writethru: UAE condemns "Iranian aggression using missiles, drones"


DUBAI, May 4 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday strongly condemned what it described as renewed "Iranian aggression using missiles and drones" against the country, according to a statement by the UAE's foreign ministry.

The statement said the attacks targeted civilian sites and represent a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable act of aggression that directly threatens the country's security, stability and territorial integrity.

It said the UAE has "full and legitimate right" to respond to the attacks.

Earlier on Monday, multiple missile and drone attacks struck UAE, including the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, injuring three Indian nationals, local authorities said.

Following the attacks, Iran's state-run IRIB news agency reported, citing a senior military source, that Iran has no plans to target the UAE.
