Injuries among Israelis and an Iranian drone attack targets a naval base in Abu Dhabi

Media sources reported that two Israelis sustained varying injuries after shrapnel from an Iranian drone attack targeting a building in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, fell. Reports clarified that the injured were a woman and her son, with the attack occurring in an area containing diplomatic and residential headquarters, causing a state of alert in the region.

For its part, Hebrew sources confirmed that a suicide drone directly hit an apartment inhabited by Israelis in the heart of the UAE capital, leading to significant material damage at the site. The attacks were not limited to residential buildings but extended to official and vital headquarters in the city, which is experiencing unprecedented security tension.

In a related context, press reports revealed that the Israeli Embassy headquarters in Abu Dhabi suffered material damage due to the same attack, as the headquarters is located within a complex that includes other diplomatic missions. This targeting comes amidst a wave of aerial attacks carried out by Tehran against targets it describes as linked to the Israeli and American presence in the region.

On the military front, the UAE Ministry of Defense announced a fire at Al Salam Naval Base in Abu Dhabi, resulting from a direct targeting by two Iranian drones. The ministry clarified that the fire ignited in two containers designated for storing general materials, confirming that specialized teams successfully controlled the fire without recording human casualties inside the base.

The UAE Ministry of Defense officially condemned this attack in a statement, describing it as a blatant aggression that flagrantly violates national sovereignty and international laws. The statement emphasized that the UAE reserves its full right to respond to this military escalation at the appropriate time and place, ensuring the protection of its territories, citizens, and residents.

Defense authorities affirmed that they are on high alert and fully prepared to deal with any future threats targeting the security and stability of the state. They indicated that all necessary measures are being taken to firmly confront all attempts to destabilize national security or harm the country's vital capabilities, given the current regional circumstances.

In a deadly toll for Sunday, the Ministry of Defense revealed that three people were killed and 58 others injured as a result of a series of Iranian targetings that affected various areas. These attacks come as part of a wide-ranging military operation launched by Tehran, claiming it is a response to what it described as ongoing Israeli-American aggression against its interests.

According to official data, 165 ballistic missiles were detected launched from Iranian territory towards the UAE since the escalation began last Saturday. Air defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed 152 of them, while 13 projectiles fell into the sea without causing direct injuries at those locations.

Iranian attacks were not limited to the UAE but also included eight Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Iraq, over the past two days. This widespread wave of aerial and missile bombardment reflects a dangerous deterioration in the regional security landscape, with the expansion of direct confrontation between the warring parties.

Tehran claims that through these operations, it is targeting approximately 27 US military bases in several Arab countries. These attacks have resulted in casualties and severe damage to civilian objects, ports, and residential buildings, placing the region before open scenarios of continuous military escalation.

This military targeting is a blatant aggression and a flagrant violation of national sovereignty and international law, and the state reserves its full right to respond.
