UAE intercepts 119 drones, 15 missiles from Iran
The United Arab Emirates intercepted 119 drones and 15 ballistic missiles fired by Iran on Saturday, March 7, 2026. The UAE Ministry of Defense confirmed the attacks via X, stating drones penetrated air defenses and landed within UAE territory while one missile fell into the sea. The military remains on high alert to confront threats to national security. This follows last Saturday's US-Israel attack that killed Iran's Supreme Leader and other top officials, triggering Iran's retaliatory missile strikes against Israel and neighboring countries. The conflict's escalation raises regional security concerns and potential global oil price impacts.
