"I'm Becky Anderson in Abu Dhabi. With the alarms going off here suggesting we should seek immediate shelter in the closest source. So we'll do that. Our breaking news coverage continues after this short break."
"There was a wide alert on our phones, and so we just stood down for a couple of minutes to ensure that the staff here were all safe, but we have had retaliatory strikes now from Iran here in the UAE in Abu Dhabi and indeed some reports of explosions in Dubai in Bahrain in Kuwait and indeed in Qatar."
"The Ministry of Defense announced that the UAE today was subjected to a blatant attack involving Iranian ballistic missiles, noting that UAE air defense systems dealt with the missiles with high efficiency and successfully intercepted them."
CNN International anchor Becky Anderson was forced to evacuate her studio in Abu Dhabi after alarms signaled incoming strikes during Iranian retaliation against U.S. and Israeli military operations. Following a Trump announcement of U.S. attacks on Iran, Iran launched ballistic missile strikes across multiple Middle East locations housing U.S. military installations, including the UAE, Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. Anderson temporarily left the broadcast to ensure staff safety before returning to report on the situation. UAE authorities confirmed the country was targeted by Iranian ballistic missiles, stating their air defense systems successfully intercepted the weapons with high efficiency.
