The United Arab Emirates intercepted 15 ballistic missiles and 11 drones fired by Iran today, says the Emirati defense ministry, a day that has seen heavy missile fire on Israel as well.

Two people were killed this morning in Abu Dhabi by debris from one of the intercepted missiles, and three were wounded. In total, 10 people have been killed in the UAE from Iranian attacks amid the current war.

Since the start of the US-Israel campaign against Iran on February 28, the UAE has been the most targeted country by Iran, facing 372 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and 1,826 drones.
