Overview
- The Ministry of Defence said air defences shot down four ballistic missiles and six drones on Sunday, with launches traced to Iran.
- Since the escalation began on February 28, the UAE reports intercepting 298 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and 1,606 drones.
- Authorities report six people killed and 142 wounded, with victims including Emirati, Pakistani, Nepali and Bangladeshi nationals.
- Loud blasts heard in Dubai were from intercepts, while a drone-triggered fire at Abu Dhabi’s Ruwais complex caused damage but no injuries.
- A separate blaze in Fujairah’s oil zone followed an interception, leaving a Jordanian national with minor injuries, as the attacks are framed within the broader US–Israel–Iran confrontation.
