The United Arab Emirates intercepted nine drones fired by Iran today, says the Emirati defense ministry.
This is the first day in the war that Iran has not fired any ballistic missiles at the Gulf state, though that could change.
Since the start of the US-Israel campaign against Iran on February 28, the UAE has been the most targeted country by Iran, facing 357 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,1815 drones. The daily attacks have been steadily dropping throughout the war.
