Iran Launched 2 Ballistic Missiles, 1 Fell In Our Territorial Waters: UAE

The comments came after the UAE on Tuesday accused Iran of firing two ballistic missiles at shipping in the Gulf, an allegation later denied by Tehran.

Iranian FM spokesperson rejected UAE's statements, calling them "baseless"

Defence ministry says weapons were targeting maritime traffic but fell into the sea

The United Arab Emirates said that two ballistic missiles were fired toward the country from Iran, the Islamic Republic’s first known attack on the Gulf nation since May as the wider Middle East war continues unabated.

The statement came nearly two hours after a brief phone alert warned UAE residents of a “potential missile threat”

"UAE air defenses detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran toward the country, with the first falling outside the country's territorial waters, while the second fell within the territorial waters," said a statement posted by the ministry on X.

Earlier, the Interior Ministry had issued a brief emergency alert warning residents of “potential missile threats” and instructing them to immediately move to a safe location inside the nearest secure building.
