Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has condemned the attacks on the United Arab Emirates, a US ally, following missile and drone attacks.

The United Arab Emirates faced attacks from Iran for the first time since a ceasefire took effect in early April. One of the attacks caused a fire at a key oil facility in Fujairah and injured three Indian nationals, authorities said.

In a reaction on the X platform, Sharif expressed his full solidarity with the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

"Pakistan strongly condemns the missile and drone attacks on civilian infrastructure in the UAE. Pakistan stands firmly with our Emirati brothers and sisters, as well as the government of the UAE at this difficult time. It is absolutely essential that the ceasefire is maintained and respected, to allow the necessary diplomatic space for dialogue leading to lasting peace and stability in the region," he stressed.
