It will affect any creature within its boundaries, just like normal, non-summoned fog would, or rain, or heavy snow, smoke, etc.   The description of the spell gives you the clues. It says the area is heavily obscured. It doesn't mention creatures, targets, enemies, allies, etc., so it's safe to assume that since no one type of target is either mentioned or exclusively left out, then the heavy obscuring of the fog affects everyone.
