India condemned a drone strike on an energy facility in Fujairah in which three Indians were injured, urging uninterrupted access to the Strait of Hormuz, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
The United Arab Emirates blamed Iran for the drone attack on an energy installation on Monday.
Iranian state TV said the Islamic republic had “no pre-planned programme” to attack oil facilities in the UAE.
 
The South Asian nation is heavily dependent on imported energy, which has been disrupted since the Middle East war began in late February.
 
India, the world’s third-largest oil buyer, normally sources about half of its crude through the Strait of Hormuz.
India is therefore calling for free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the Strait of Hormuz in keeping with international law.
