Emirati air defences were responding to missile and drone attacks from Iran, the United Arab Emirates defence ministry said Sunday, as Tehran said it was targeting aluminium industries in the Gulf nation. "UAE air defences... are actively engaging with missiles and UAV threats," the ministry posted on X in English, along with an Arabic statement that said the projectiles were coming from Iran.
