Explosions heard in UAE capital Abu Dhabi: Residents

Abu Dhabi residents told AFP they heard loud explosions in the Emirati capital on Saturday, after the US and Iran launched strikes on Iran, which has vowed retaliation.

Two residents told AFP they heard the blasts. Abu Dhabi is home to a base housing U.S. personnel.

Earlier the UAE said it had closed its airspace "temporarily and partially" as an exceptional precautionary measure.
