UAE Reports New Iran Aerial Attacks

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed on Saturday that its air defence systems are actively responding to a fresh wave of missile and drone threats launched from Iran.

This latest round of strikes is part of a broader retaliatory campaign by Tehran targeting various locations across the Gulf.

The UAE Ministry of Defence issued a statement reassuring the public that the loud explosions heard across the region are the direct result of successful interceptions.
