In a strongly worded statement, the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the strikes an “unacceptable act of aggression” and a direct threat to the country’s security, stability and territorial integrity. It held Iran fully responsible for the attacks and their consequences, asserting that such actions violate international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
The ministry stressed that the UAE “will not tolerate any threat” to its sovereignty and reserved the right to respond in line with international law to protect its citizens, residents and infrastructure. It also called for an immediate halt to hostilities.
The Ministry of Defence reported that four cruise missiles were launched from Iran towards multiple locations across the UAE. Air defence systems successfully intercepted three of them over territorial waters, while the fourth fell into the sea.
Authorities said the loud sounds heard in different parts of the country were due to these interceptions.
Also, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) urged residents to remain indoors, follow official updates and avoid approaching or handling debris from intercepted projectiles. Officials warned that such remnants could be hazardous and should be left to specialised teams.
