The United Arab Emirates intercepted five ballistic missiles and 17 drones fired by Iran today, says the Emirati defense ministry.

Since the start of the US-Israel campaign against Iran on February 28, the UAE has been the country most targeted by Iran, facing 357 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,806 drones. The number of daily attacks has been steadily dropping throughout the war.
