According to a statement made by the UAE’s National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, “UAE air defences are currently responding to a missile threat.”

Following the commencement of the emergency, “people have been told to remain in a safe location” to safeguard their safety while security forces deal with the problem.

Residents are also asked to “monitor official channels of information for warnings and updates” while authorities provide real-time guidance during the current threat.

This current escalation followed a tremendous onslaught on Wednesday, in which UAE air defence systems successfully intercepted 13 missiles, including “six ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles,” as well as 39 drones fired from Iran, according to Gulf News.

According to the study, since the “onset of the blatant Iranian aggression,” the UAE’s defence network has neutralised 268 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,514 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Unfortunately, these regional tensions have resulted in six deaths among Emirati, Pakistani, Nepali, and Bangladeshi people.

Gulf News further stated that 131 people had “minor to moderate injuries,” with victims ranging from India, Pakistan, Egypt, and the Philippines.

Following the recent interceptions, the Ministry of Defence stated that it is fully prepared to deal with any “threats” to the nation.

The Ministry stated that it will “firmly confront any attempts to undermine State security” to defend the country’s sovereignty and stability.

According to Gulf News, the military remains dedicated to protecting the country’s “national interests and capabilities” despite the continuous regional escalation.
