On Tuesday evening, the UAE's air defense systems responded to a missile threat originating from Iran. The Ministry of Defence announced via phone alert to residents in Dubai and Sharjah that two ballistic missiles were en route to the country. The first missile was reported to have fallen outside of UAE's territorial waters, while the second missile impacted within the country's maritime borders.
The defense ministry emphasized its readiness to confront any threats and to safeguard the nation's security, urging the public to rely solely on official sources for information and to refrain from spreading rumors or false data. This was the first such alert in the UAE since July 12, when the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority had detected regional threats that later proved to be outside of UAE's borders.
