UAE Responds to Iranian Missile and Drone Attack
On 18 March 2026, the military of the United Arab Emirates was able to intercept a wave of missiles and drones launched by Iran due to the ongoing tensions in the region between Iran, Israel, and the United States. The residents were notified about the situation by means of official alerts that the situation was under control and that they were not in danger. Hospitals in Dubai were fully functioning and ready to deal with any emergency that may arise, but the majority of the threats were dealt with before they could threaten the population.
