Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, were rocked by missile attacks and explosions, resulting in one confirmed death so far. According to UAE authorities, their air defense systems successfully intercepted Iranian missiles mid-air, but debris from the intercepts fell in residential areas of Abu Dhabi, causing damage.
The UAE has condemned the strikes as a serious violation of its sovereignty and emphasized that it reserves the right to respond decisively. Following the attacks, the entire region has been placed on high alert, with heightened security measures implemented across major cities, as reported by Al Arabiya.
The incident underscores ongoing tensions in the Gulf and highlights the UAE’s vulnerability to cross-border missile threats, further complicating regional security dynamics.
