The UAE’s defence ministry yesterday said that it detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran against the Gulf country.
It said one fell inside territorial waters, while another fell outside, and stressed the UAE’s readiness to deal with any threats.
The country said it had halted all trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran after the attack.
Earlier, the UAE’s interior ministry sent a phone alert stating that the situation was safe and people should resume normal activities after an earlier alert warning of a missile threat.
