WNAM REPORT: The United Arab Emirates’ Ministry of Defense announced that the country’s air defenses were “actively engaging” with a missile and drone attack early Friday as the shaky ceasefire in the Iran war came under renewed strain.
The ministry advised residents not to approach, photograph or touch “any debris or fragments that have fallen as a result of successful air interceptions.”
The latest attack came amid growing regional tensions despite a ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States that has largely held since April 8.
Hours earlier, the US military said it had intercepted Iranian attacks on three Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday night and carried out strikes on Iranian military facilities linked to attacks on American forces.
US Central Command said in a social media post that US forces intercepted “unprovoked Iranian attacks” and responded with self-defense strikes.
