The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has rejected recent reports alleging a missile attack on Al Minhad Air Base, a facility near Dubai. The UAE's Ministry of Defence categorically stated that these claims are unfounded and that the base remains in a "high state of readiness" to counter any external threats. The ministry emphasized the importance of relying on official sources for accurate information and warned against the spread of rumors or misinformation.
On Monday, the ministry disclosed that they had intercepted a drone flying within territorial waters, originating from Iran. The Armed Forces are currently on high alert and prepared to handle any potential threats, according to the statement. There were no emergency alerts issued to residents throughout the nation. This incident is 19 days after a previous missile threat led to emergency alerts, during which one missile landed in Emirati territorial waters, and another was intercepted outside of it.
