UAE says situation safe after detecting missile threat

The United Arab Emirates has issued an alert regarding a potential missile threat and advised residents to remain in secure locations.

The statement emphasized the importance of staying in a safe place and following official warnings and updates.

The alert was issued the day after the Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States expired. Additionally, US President Donald Trump had threatened to bomb Oman if it interfered with efforts to reopen the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
