United Arab Emirates sounds the alarm: Air defenses are facing missiles and drones coming from Iran...
Iran appears to have ended the ceasefire and resumed military attacks in the Persian Gulf, bringing back uncertainty about the worsening situation.
A huge fire has broken out at an oil industrial complex in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, after a drone attack that local authorities linked to Iran. The facility is considered a key part of the region's energy infrastructure.
The United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Defense says its air defenses are "currently facing missile and drone attacks originating from Iran."
" The Ministry of Defense confirms that the sounds heard in various parts of the country are the result of the intervention of the United Arab Emirates' air defense systems that intercept ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones ," it said in a statement to X.
The UAE Ministry of Defense announced that four missiles were launched from Iranian territory. Three of them were neutralized by air defense systems, while another landed in the sea without causing damage.
The National Emergency Management Authority activated alerts for the population, signaling an emerging threat. This is among the first cases of this level since the ceasefire came into effect, indicating an imminent escalation of the situation.
A little later, a second official announcement announced that the situation had been brought under control and citizens could resume normal activities, however tensions remained high.
The developments come as the United States has stepped up its naval presence in the area to ensure the safe passage of merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global trade. In response, Iran has warned that any military presence in the area could be considered a target.
The return of attacks and harsh rhetoric raise the risk of a wider conflict, calling into question the durability of the ceasefire and the security of one of the world's most important energy supply routes.
