Iranian media reports new missile strikes on UAE

The United Arab Emirates has come under missile attacks, Iranian news agency Fars reported.

No further details have been released at this time.

Earlier today, the UAE Defence Ministry said that its air defence systems and fighter jets were intercepting Iranian missile and drone attacks.

It said explosions heard in various parts of the country were the result of air defense batteries engaging ballistic missiles and fighter jets intercepting drones and cruise missiles.

The US-Israeli strikes against Iran began on February 28 and have reportedly killed at least 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Gulf countries hosting US military assets throughout the campaign.
