The UAE has announced on Thursday that its defence systems are responding to missile and drone threats from Iran.
In a post on X, the Ministry of Defence noted that the sounds heard are due to successful interceptions of the attacks.
تتعامل حالياً الدفاعات الجوية الإماراتية مع اعتداءات صاروخية وطائرات مسيرة قادمة من إيران وتؤكد وزارة الدفاع أن الأصوات المسموعة في مناطق متفرقة من الدولة هي نتيجة اعتراض كل من منظومات الدفاع الجوي للصواريخ البالستية، والمقاتلات للطائرات المسيرة والجوالة.
