UAE says its air defenses are responding to missiles from Iran

May 5, 2026 08:01 pm

The United Arab Emirates said that its air defenses are “currently dealing with a missile threat” from Iran.

In a brief statement Tuesday, the Interior Ministry told residents to remain in a safe place and follow guidance from the authorities.

The scope of the attack was not immediately clear. It comes a day after Iran launched a missile and drone attack against the UAE for the first time since the ceasefire began in early April.
