  "account": "The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government reported that its air defenses detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward the country. These missiles first fell outside of the UAE's territorial waters, followed by the second missile falling within. The Ministry of Defense announced the detection on social media platform X, highlighting the country's readiness to respond to any threats. The Ministry emphasized its commitment to maintaining the security and sovereignty of the nation, urging the public to obtain all news from official sources and avoid false information. Residents in UAE, including Dubai, received missile alerts on their phones for the first time in weeks, marking the first such alert since a false alarm in June and another in July. This incident occurred shortly after the UAE and Iran ended their conflict, with the UAE facing over 3,000 missile and drone attacks from Iran following the start of the Middle East war on February 28.",
