UAE Under Missile Threat: Loud Explosions in UAE as Air Defences Intercept Iranian Missiles

In a statement on X, the authority said UAE air defence systems had found a missile threat. They told residents to stay somewhere safe and keep up with updates from official sources.

The Defence Ministry also confirmed its systems had detected a missile threat. Later, it explained that any loud noises people heard were from air defence systems intercepting missiles.

The ministry said Iran had launched two ballistic missiles at the UAE.

One landed in the UAE's territorial waters, and the other landed outside. The Interior Ministry also issued an alert, urging people to take precautions due to the situation and potential missile threats.

Residents were told to find shelter in the nearest safe building and follow instructions from authorities.

UAE Missile Warning Iran: Technical Glitch Triggers False Missile Alert in UAE

UAE Under Missile Threat: The Defence Ministry said it was ready to handle any threat and protect the country's security and independence.

Emergency warning issued in UAE: This was the first major missile warning for residents in several weeks.

The last emergency alert was on July 12, when UAE authorities warned people as defence forces responded to missile and drone threats outside the country.

Residents got emergency phone alerts about a possible missile threat. NCEMA later said a technical problem in the national early warning system had caused those messages.

The latest alert was lifted soon after it was sent.

Residents then received an all-clear message from authorities, who said it was safe to resume normal activities but advised everyone to remain cautious and take necessary precautions.

UAE Under Missile Threat: Earlier, the Interior Ministry sent a phone alert stating that the situation was safe and that people could resume normal activities.

Later, information from Iran provided more details about the threat that prompted the emergency warning.

This situation reminds many of the early months of the conflict, when the UAE faced many missile and drone threats from Iran.

UAE Security Amid Iran Tensions: Fresh Strikes Threaten UAE’s Neutrality Following End of US-Iran Pact

UAE Under Missile Threat: When the war started on February 28, Emirati authorities said almost 3,000 missiles and drones were sent toward the UAE, more than any other country in the region.

After the U.S. and Iran reached a deal in June, reported attacks declined.

That agreement has since collapsed, but the UAE reported no attacks during that time, unlike some other Gulf states.

This new attack comes at a sensitive time for Abu Dhabi, which has sought to avoid becoming more involved in the conflict while maintaining close security ties with Washington.

The security alert was sent after the temporary US-Iran agreement ended. The agreement was signed by Donald Trump and Masoud Pezeshkian on June 17.

It was meant to stop more than three months of fighting that had killed thousands and disrupted shipping across the Gulf.

UAE Under Missile Threat: The agreement was also important for global energy markets because the conflict had badly disrupted oil and gas shipments in the region.

However, the deal later fell apart, and Washington and Tehran still do not agree on what is needed to end the conflict for good. The US and Iran are not currently talking to each other.

An Iranian official said Iran would take a more aggressive military stance after the temporary arrangement ended, and confirmation of Iranian launches adds to the already tense situation in the region.

Gulf states remain on high alert as the US-Iran conflict appears to be intensifying again.
