UAE, Kuwait, say responded to incoming missiles

The United Arab Emirates said it had intercepted Iranian missiles and reserved its right to respond to the attacks, while Kuwait also engaged incoming strikes on Saturday.

"The Ministry of Defence announced that the United Arab Emirates was subjected today to a blatant attack by Iranian ballistic missiles. The UAE's air defences responded with high efficiency and successfully intercepted a number of the missiles," it said in a statement.

Abu Dhabi said it "reserves its full right to respond" slamming the attacks as "a dangerous escalation".

Kuwait's Chief of Staff said in a statement that "air defence systems engaged incoming missiles detected in the airspace".
