The defense ministry affirms its full readiness to deal with any threats and firmly confront anything that aims to destabilize the state’s security

The UAE's defense ministry stated that its air defense systems detected the ballistic missiles launched from Iran. Initial reports indicated one missile fell outside UAE territorial waters and the other within them. The ministry later assessed that the missiles were targeting "maritime traffic" rather than making a direct strike on UAE territory, thereby reducing the immediate risk to the mainland.

The defense ministry affirmed the UAE's full readiness to address any threats and confront actions aimed at destabilizing the nation's security. It also urged the public to rely on official sources for information and avoid rumors. Iran has not issued any immediate comment regarding the incident.
