UAE Reports Ongoing Missile, Drone Interceptions from Iran
“The sounds heard in various areas of the country are the result of air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles, and fighter jets intercepting drones and cruise aircraft,” the UAE Defense Ministry said, confirming the ongoing defensive operations.
The announcement comes amid continued tensions following a joint US-Israel operation against Iran that began on Feb. 28, reportedly resulting in around 1,300 casualties, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Iran has carried out drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf nations hosting US military facilities, causing both casualties and infrastructural damage while disrupting international markets and aviation.
