In a significant escalation of hostilities, Iranian missile and drone strikes have intensified across the Gulf region, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. The UAE reported one death in Abu Dhabi and three fatalities among expatriates, including nationals from Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The ongoing strikes have targeted various locations, including civilian areas, airports, and ports, prompting the UAE to close its embassy in Tehran and withdraw its ambassador. The UAE's Ministry of Defence confirmed that it has intercepted 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles, and 541 drones, with 152 ballistic missiles destroyed and 35 drones falling within UAE territory, causing injuries and property damage. Notably, two Iranian drones struck the Al Salam Naval Base in Abu Dhabi, igniting a fire, which the UAE described as a 'blatant act of aggression.'
