The United Arab Emirates has dismissed recent media reports alleging that Al Minhad Air Base, situated near Dubai, was struck by missiles. The Ministry of Defence categorically stated that these reports were baseless, emphasizing that the base maintains a "high state of readiness" to respond to any external threats. The ministry implored the public to trust official sources and refrain from disseminating misinformation or baseless reports.
On Monday, the ministry reported intercepting a drone over their territorial waters, originating from Iran. It reassured that the Armed Forces are alert and prepared to address any threats. Notably, no emergency alerts were issued to residents across the nation. This interception occurred 19 days after a missile threat led to emergency alerts, during which one missile landed in Emirati territorial waters while a second landed outside these boundaries.
