UAE intercepted second round of Iranian missile attacks: Defense ministry

The United Arab Emirates said Saturday it intercepted a second wave of Iranian strikes, reporting that missile fragments fell across the capital Abu Dhabi without causing injuries, after a first wave killed one civilian.

"The Ministry of Defense announced that UAE air defences successfully intercepted a new wave of Iranian missiles," it said in a statement.

"Fragments of the intercepted missiles fell in various areas of Abu Dhabi, including Saadiyat Island, Khalifa City, Bani Yas, Mohamed bin Zayed City and Al Falah," it added, confirming "there were no injuries in these locations".
