UAE Intercepts Iranian Missiles and Drones; 8 Killed Including Foreign Nationals

During the operation, two members of the UAE Armed Forces were killed in the line of duty. Additionally, six civilians of Pakistani, Nepalese, Bangladeshi, and Palestinian descent lost their lives due to the strikes and falling debris.

Since the beginning of the current regional escalation, the UAE claims to have neutralized a staggering 327 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,699 drones. The expansion of the conflict into UAE territory marks a dangerous shift in Middle East stability, threatening one of the world's primary commercial hubs. The death of foreign nationals, including a Bangladeshi, has sparked concerns among the expatriate communities in the region.
