Indian PM Modi Condemns UAE Missile Attack, Emphasizes Peaceful Dialogue

New Delhi. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has condemned the missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He has emphasized that all types of problems and disputes should be resolved only through peaceful dialogue and diplomatic means.

Prime Minister Modi wrote on social media platform X, strongly condemning the attack on the UAE. Mentioning that three Indian citizens were injured in the attack, he said that attacking ordinary citizens and places where citizens live or work is completely wrong. 

Clarifying that India stands firmly with the UAE in this time of crisis, he reiterated the view that peaceful solutions to all issues should be sought through negotiation and diplomacy. He also mentioned that it is very important for the world's energy security and for maintaining long-term peace and stability in this region that ships can travel safely and without any obstruction from the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, India's Ministry of External Affairs has also called the attack in Fujairah, UAE, 'unacceptable' and demanded that such violent activities be stopped immediately.

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal expressed serious objection to the incident where three Indian citizens were injured in the Fujairah attack, stating that targeted attacks on ordinary citizens and the physical infrastructure necessary for them must stop immediately. He clarified that India will always stand in favor of dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace and stability in West Asia.

The UAE's Ministry of Defense claimed on May 4 that several missiles were fired into its territory from Iran. However, it is claimed that the UAE's defense system neutralized these missiles in the air. It was during the same missile attack that Indian citizens were injured in the damage and explosion in the Fujairah region.
