Abu Dhabi, March 09 (QNA) - The Ministry of Defense of the United Arab Emirates said that air defenses were responding to missile and drone threats coming from Iran.
In a statement carried by the Emirates News Agency, the ministry said the sounds heard in various parts of the country were the result of interceptions by air defense systems targeting ballistic missiles, as well as fighter jets intercepting drones and cruise drones.
Earlier on Monday, the competent authorities in the emirate of Fujairah managed to contain a fire that broke out after debris fell following the successful interception by air defenses.
Emergency response teams worked to contain the blaze, which resulted in no injuries. (QNA)
