On Tuesday evening, the UAE's air defense systems detected a missile threat originating from Iran, prompting a phone alert for potential missile strikes in Dubai and Sharjah, according to a statement from the Ministry of Defence. The ministry confirmed that the first missile fell outside the country's territorial waters, while the second impacted the territorial waters.
The ministry emphasized its readiness to handle any threats and to confront any attempts to undermine the state's security, urging the public to rely on official sources for information and avoid rumors or false data. This was the first such alert since July 12, with the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority initially identifying regional threats but later confirming they posed no risk to UAE borders.
