Abu Dhabi: On Tuesday, a Pakistani national was killed when debris from an intercepted ballistic missile fell in Abu Dhabi’s Bani Yas region. Earlier, the UAE reported that its air defence systems had responded to a missile threat. Explosions were also reported in Dubai and Doha, Qatar.

According to the emirate’s media office, a fire broke out in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone in the United Arab Emirates following a drone attack. It further stated that no injuries had been reported.

According to a statement from the media office, civil defence teams were trying to put out the fire.

The Fujairah Oil Industry Zone is on fire as a result of a drone attack . So yet, no casualties have been recorded from the site, which is roughly 150 km from Dubai. Meanwhile, the UAE has again restricted its airspace in response to Iranian missile and drone threats.

Dubai Airport Incidents and Disruptions: A drone attack near Dubai International Airport damaged one of its gasoline tanks on Monday, according to the Dubai Media Office. The attack started a fire near the airport, which civil defence forces eventually extinguished with no injuries recorded. Dubai Police have announced the closure of Airport Road, the Airport Tunnel, and the crossroads at Cargo Village and Marrakech Street leading to the airport. However, Iran’s envoy to Saudi Arabia, Alireza Enayati, rejected Iranian involvement, saying, “Iran is not the party responsible for these attacks, and if Iran had carried them out, it would have announced it.”

Onboard Air Force One, US President Donald Trump stated, “We had some very good results today in Iran, very strong results militarily.” We’re engaging with countries about regulating the Strait of Hormuz because they rely on it for oil. The United States receives just around 1 or 2 percent of its oil from there, but China receives almost 90% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. It would be beneficial if other countries joined us in policing it, and we will cooperate with them.

“We have essentially defeated Iran militarily, in my opinion.” He also stated that they might have a little fight back left, but not much. “We can take that out within five minutes if we want, everything is locked and loaded and ready to go,” Trump said reporters.
