"Iran has attacked Jordan without any justification, even as it is aware of the efforts Jordan has exerted to resolve the crisis peacefully. The UAE foreign ministry said its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed a new wave of Iranian missiles and drones launched towards the country."
"In Kuwait, a drone and missile barrage struck near the country's international airport and nearby U.S. facilities, injuring several people, damaging parts of the terminal area and forcing temporary flight suspensions. In Bahrain, missiles targeting areas near the U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters triggered evacuations and damage checks in the Juffair district."
"The Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry called the attacks blatant Iranian aggression and a flagrant violation of the countries' sovereignty. The Dubai government warned against circulating unverified reports, after old clips and images of previous fires in Dubai were circulated on social media."
Iran conducted coordinated missile and drone attacks across five Middle Eastern nations. In the UAE, debris from intercepted Iranian missiles fell over Abu Dhabi and Dubai, injuring multiple people and closing airports. Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base faced attacks that disrupted air traffic. Kuwait experienced a drone and missile barrage near its international airport and U.S. facilities, causing injuries and terminal damage. Bahrain's Juffair district near U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters was targeted, prompting evacuations. Jordan's air defenses successfully intercepted ballistic missiles, preventing major casualties. Regional governments condemned the attacks as unjustified aggression and sovereignty violations, while authorities warned against spreading unverified information on social media.
