Gulf on Edge: Iran-Linked Missile & Drone Attacks Rock UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait & Bahrain

The United Arab Emirates' Defense Ministry has said they are currently dealing with things coming from the air that are supposedly from Iran. People in the UAE have been told they might hear loud bangs because the country’s defense systems are destroying whatever is being fired at them. They’re asking everyone to be calm and do what the official safety instructions say.

Kuwait’s government said much the same thing, reporting blasts relating to their own air defense work. Their advice to people is to really follow safety rules because precautions are continuing.

Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry stated five drones were stopped and blown up in the east of the country. So far there haven’t been confirmed injuries or reports of anything being broken.

In Bahrain, the Interior Ministry set off emergency alarms and told people to get to the safest place nearby. Afterwards, they said the incident was due to, as they described it, being attacked by Iran. Also, bits and pieces falling from what was stopped by defense systems started a fire at a warehouse, but how bad the damage is isn’t yet known.
