Nationwide alert issued

Earlier this morning, the UAE Ministry of Defence confirmed that air defence systems responded to a missile threat, leading authorities to issue precautionary alerts to residents across the country.

A nationwide phone alert thanked residents for their cooperation during the emergency and reassured the public that normal activities could resume.

Officials said all necessary measures remain in place to ensure public safety and minimise disruptions, with further updates to be issued through official channels.
